I must mention the Optifast is only consumed 2 weeks before lap band surgery , it shrinks the liver and really cleans ones bowel !!! ahahaha If you know what I mean .... already I haven't felt better in 10 years ; there is like a new outlook on life . EJ.

I am so happy for you. That seems to be a lot of money. Is there anything else you can take if you cannot afford the Optifast? Be sure to post on here as soon as you are able after surgery. Please.

Yeah, I live in Saint John. Thank you so much for all of the info. I was to see Dr.B. on thursday and after I left there was so much I should have asked the nurse. It was so busy and hurried.

So you only had the initial visit, the info session, the bloodwork xray day and then was given a surgery date?

I can hardly wait for you to have your surgery so you can tell me what it was like for you. I was a nurse for many years. I even worked on surgical floors but this is something completly new. Don't forget to post after you are all done. Well as soon as you feel able.:)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
