February 4th for me!!!

[misst86 12]

Congrats so exciting !! Are you on the liquid diet already then?

[hmjdreamingbig 93]

No, no liquid diet yet...I have a pre-op diet I have to follow but it's really not too bad. The liquid diet is only for 3 days before surgery.

[misst86 12]

Oh your so lucky I'm in opti fast for 3 weeks !! No good for 3 weeks should be interesting nonetheless it will be worth it in the end

[misst86 12]

** no food

[hmjdreamingbig 93]

If you don't mind me asking...what is Optifast?

[misst86 12]

It's the liquid Meal Replacement they prescribe here before the surgery . A girl I know was on it 3 wks before her surgery an lost 30lbs in those 3 weeks

[hmjdreamingbig 93]

Wow!!! 30lbs in 3 weeks!!! Kinda want to try that!! Maybe just a week...eesh.. I do have a 3 day clear liquid component prior to surgery and this pre-op diet is supposed to help me loose the 10lbs..the doc asked me to shed prior to surgery. I'm not confident I will loose that 10lbs without doing something like that. Perhaps...I will attempt it on my own!

Surgery date February 11th here. I have my last Surgery Date this Monday the 13th.

I'm sweating getting these last 5 pounds, of the 15 I had to lose, off that I had off for my Nut Clearance but regained during the holidays. I doubt I will get them all off by then but I think I'll get close. Hopefully it's not a deal breaker.

I don't remember how much of a fast I have to do but I think it's no more than 3 days.

I give all you folks a lot of credit who are doing weeks of liquid diets before surgery.

[misst86 12]

I'm so jel! 3 days I would love to only have 3 days of liquids it's gonna be a tough 3 weeks but I just keep my eye on the prize and know it will all be worth it in the end new year new me

1 week to the date and the liquid diet starts I honestly thought I would be into EVERYTHING for a last hurrah but glad I have no temptations that leads me to believe being successful after surgery won't be a problem:) can't wAit to get this started getting more nervous however the excitement definitely out weighs the nervousness

Feb. 17th is my big day! I start the pre-op diet on Monday the 3rd so I'm enjoying and saying goodbye to a few of my favorites with a so called last supper on Super Bowl Sunday. I'm ready to say goodbye to the garbage and hello to Portion Control and feeling lighter :-)

Mine is 2/3. I slowly started my Protein Shakes in November. Officially day 2 of my pre-op diet. I get one lean meal a day so it's not bad.
