Way to go! I've lost 8 lbs on opti-fast this week. It's almost time!

I hear you! I get sleeved nov. 6th and am on day 6 of my pre-op liquid diet. My dr. Puts us on opti-fast for 2 weeks. Today I am starving!!! We just have to hang on for a few more days! We can do it!

Amazing story. I hope you continue to be blessed and to become healthier with your new sleeve. I've been waiting three months for mine and nov 6th is the big day. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

Great b-day present to yourself! We have the same surgery date. Good luck to you!

November 6

Congrats debinaz....sounds like you're well on your way to the loser's bench.

First day on opti-fast. Threw up almost everything. Kept I vanilla shake and one bar down. Have had a terrible headache and been in tears. I really hope tomorrow I can keep from vomiting. This is going to be a tough 14 days. Please send prayers my way if you can. Thanks.

The egg whites sound very interesting...keep us posted, and thanks for the info.

I vote yes on that! Great idea.

Hi bear, glad you're here. I like you already! My surgery date is nov. 6th. Your date is my daughters birthday, so I'll remember to keep you in my prayers that day...and all the other nov. 20th sleevers. I look forward to seeing you on the loser's bench! Hang in there.

That is so cool! I had to open a shop to store my stash! LOL. Good luck to you and let's keep in touch.

Hi, I am 53 years old, 5'2"' and weigh 250 lbs. I live in northern Virginia and own a small quilt shop. Eleven years ago I was hit by a car when I was out walking and sustained a traumatic brain injury. During the course of my recovery I gained 100 lbs on steroids. Over the past 10 years I have gained 20 more pounds trying to lose the 100 lbs! My surgery date is almost here! I am scheduled for nov. 6th. Blue point surgical group (dr. Halmi) is doing my surgery. My 2 week liquid pre-op starts next Tuesday. I am so excited and so nervous at the same time. But most of all, I'm happy to be a November sleever. Good luck to everyone getting sleeved this month and I'll meet you on the loser's bench!

Congrats and happy birthday!

My surgery is nov 6th as well....good luck to you.

We're getting closer to nov 5th and 6th. I start my liquid pre-op diet next Tuesday!

You all provide much inspiration and encouragement. Thanks and I hope you continue to feel good and normal -- a thinner normal sounds so good!

Tj mom, you are awesome. God bless you!

Sounds great. Am going to try it!
