I have a very loving family but still feel alone in this process.

It will be great to have someone to talk to that will be going through the same stages at the same time.

I'm being banded by Dr. Oliak in Orange County, Ca. Where will yours be done? I'm very nervous about the whole thing. I'm not worried about the actual surgery, but the pain after and all the new changes -PBing, getting stuck, etc. Does anyone else feel the same?

Hey everyone, let's keep in touch.

Where are you all having your surgeries? Do your doctors require a pre op diet? Mine just says to drink liquids after 3:00 pm the day before.

I am feeling more supported than I have in a long time being on the board with all of ya'll.

I am having my done by Dr. Huerta in TN @ 9:00 in the morning:thumbup:.

I was on the induction phase of adkins for over a month. I am currently on two whey Protein (adkins or slim fast low carb) shakes a day. On Saturday, I will switch over to only liquids. I have had a few slips:eek: but do not feel guilty about it.:rolleyes2:

Hey, I'm on the 28th also, went for my final weigh today and got my final instructions. Now I have to go on phase I of south beach for the rest of the week. My emotions are in high gear. I have been through the process before and had the surgery cancelled at the last minute because on lung problems and of course I want to be safe than sorry but I also want a chance at a healthier life.

Good luck to everyone!

Yes, and I'm currently struggling with headaches,irritably and bad breath on my 6th day of the Optifast Protein shakes (I am physically shaking too....) :thumbup:... no food allowed not even Soups just fat free broth.

However, I am going to hang in until the end with my purse full of breath mints and minty gum :blushing:.

On a good note, I have lost 8 lbs :scared2:since I've started the Optifast.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
