666666666666 7 Posted August 11, 2016 That's my date too! I met my surgeon and they gave me a date for two weeks later! I'm on day three of the Optifast shakes. I've given up caffeine too so I'm about ready to rip someone's head off and beat them with the soggy end. August 23rd. Had to go through six month medically surprised weight program first and all the other hoops. I can't wait! Not looking forward to the two weeks prior. Can't imagine being on liquids for two weeks. Blegh.Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinkberry2 128 Posted August 11, 2016 August 24th! One more week before I start my two week Optifast diet. I've stocked up on the shakes and am ready to go, can't wait! I'm telling very few people, mostly because I'm quite a private person, but it'd be great to have a buddy or ten. I'm in Australia if that makes a difference. Me too :-) 8/24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

literarylona 1 Posted August 13, 2016 I am 3 days post op and doing great! I was so so nervous prior to surgery, but I'm telling you all, it wasn't as bad as expected. Pain equatable to having gallbladder removed. I'm still bloated looking, but I've went down from 242 to 229 since I started the preop diet. I love this page!!

GeekyChicLa 15 Posted August 13, 2016 LOL. Oh dear. Well I actually lucked out. My surgeon doesn't believe in starving us. Thank you, Jesus. He just put is on high Protein, no starches or sugars for 12 days then Clear Liquids for 48 hours before surgery. But look at it this way, you'll get a much bigger head start on your weight loss than I will. I've been on it for 5 days and only dropped 1 pound.
