Hi. I'm new to the group and I live in London Ontario. My surgery date is Aug 16th...3 days after my 56th birthday. It takes a long time, here in Canada to be approved for this surgery. I have been going to classes, meeting with Dr.s, Dietitians, and Social workers for about 1 1/2 years now!! I started drinking my Optifast drink just this past Tuesday and I have to drink it right up to surgery date. (3 weeks). The only other things I can have is clear broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles. I'm not really hungry but the smell of food drives me wild! Lol! I just keep thinking about being thinner and healthier. If I don't lose the weight, I will be in a wheelchair within a year and also have Type 2 Diabetes. I am so scared about the surgery but I have an amazing Husband and a very supportive group of Family and Friends Best of luck to all of you. It will be great to have people to talk to that are in the same life journey as I am! ???? Sent from my SM-G935W8 using the BariatricPal App
