marchethomas 5 Posted May 9, 2015 Wow, it's been a roller coaster ride to get to this date. Like thousands before me I am a ball of emotion right now. Excitement, pride, happy, fear, anxiety and of course tired. Had a great start back in November with all my test being completed and then came the preop weight I needed to lose. I struggled through the holidays and tried to deal with the stressors of work the best I could. More than once did I skip an appointment and mentally think "i can just do this on my own without surgery". I actually gained weight up until March when my NUT asked if I would try Optifast. Though expensive, it was the best decision I could have made. I averaged losing 5lbs a week for 7 weeks. So now here I am, enjoying this lovely clear liquid diet. I would rather be on Optifast again, lol. I want to thank all those that post on this website. I have learned so much from those that have gone before me and love all the support everyone provides. I see that no matter what procedure you have, we are all in this together. I'll post again post op. Thanks for reading! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
