We are having it in Columbia, Mo with Dr. Nicole Spencer. We are both beyond excited for our new outlook on life!

It varies if you read enough of these posts. One lady had 12hours fasting. Lots have1 or 2 weeks. Mine is 3 weeks of 3 pints of milk, two veg meals and 2 pieces of fruit . I can also have coffee. One person, I read had 4 weeks of slim fast only. Every doctor has their own 'recipe' Please let me know how you get on

Yes, they do all seem to be different. I can have protein shakes and a salad with 4 oz of protein for dinner and any veggies for the week.

My surgery date is November 1...my 2nd chance on this weightloss challenge.

Hello, I’m having surgery with Dr Minkin in St. Louis on November 11. I’m ready for everything physical that comes with surgery but I’m still mentally working through food addiction issues with a therapist. I’m so excited for the future athletic/sport benefits to be had!

Best of luck to everyone!

My surgery is nov 18

My surgery date is November 8th as well!

November 9th here! So excited. Starting my pre-op diet tomorrow, and so nervous about hunger.

November 15 with Dr Illan with Hospital BC. So excited and feeling hope for the first time in a long time!
