[purplepetal 0]

Hello everyone,

I'm so happy to be able to say that I will be one of the February bandsters too!:clap2: My date is Feb. 12 and I am currently doing the 2 weeks of Optifast. I've done Optifast so many times before but I always forget how hard the first few days are. Good luck to everyone!!!

Hello all. I will be a Mar. bandster. I noticed a lot of differences in pre-op diets. I have two weeks of Slimfast Optima. After the first 3 or four days I can have a veggie salad, fat-free dressing once a day. Start 2-21. They say this helps shrink your liver, which makes the surgery safer.

OK:cool: trying to be cool about this... Not!!!LOL:biggrin1:

I have my surgery for 2-21-07. My doc asked if I wanted it for 2-14 but I laughed and said No, My DH's Birthday is that day, so I don't think thats how he wants to not only spend his Birthday but Valentines Day. No:lol:

So it will be the 21st instead. Not too long now!!!!:clap2:

Question: My doc says I need to do the 1st part of South Beach before my surgery not the all liquid. Anyone else doing it this way?

[drtnsnw 0]

I am really going to ask my Doc why there are so many different aproaches to the time before surgery! You would think that there should be a set of guidlines t follow and these docs are all over the place!

Seems kinda crazy!

Good luck to you guys on todays date

Chris- most doctors want you on some sort of a diet to shrink your liver before surgery. Some have very strict guidelines to follow and others don't seem to mind. It is the doctors personal preference.

Chris - My doctor has me doing Atkins, which is very similar to South Beach. I've lost 6 lbs since Saturday
