starryeyed 0 Posted October 21, 2007 Hi everyone! I have been reading here for the past couple of days and it has really helped. So many of my questions have been answered. I am on day four (out of 14) of my Optifast, broth, and raw veg. pre-op diet. It's had it's ups and downs. I am missing real food but it keeps getting easier. I am excited to be getting the band but I hope it works as well as I want it to. My surgeon said the 'average' weight lost is 50% of what you need to lose and that is not what I was hoping for. But, I am willing to put forth more than average effort. I am really excited to have this opportunity to get back to my 'right' weight. I'm looking forward to sharing experiences with the group! starryeyed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonHoll1 0 Posted October 21, 2007 I plan to lose a lot more than 50%.I think it is up to the person how hard you want to work at it. Lots of people have lost all they need to. Good luck. Donna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starryeyed 0 Posted October 24, 2007 I am so excited to be getting banded in 8 days! It's really starting to sink in! I am looking forward to having a tool to help me get my life back and stop feeling ashamed. I want to like the way I look and feel good about it for the first time in 5+ years. starryeyed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
