Hi All

Hello Everyone;

Just wanted to say Hi! I'm a 45 yr old father of 2 who will be getting banded on February 3rd. I've been on the Optifast diet for one week now. Thought I would join this site because it looks like a good place to get help and advice.

Hope this finds everyone doing fine.

Take Care

Howdy Zipper, this is a great place to get LOT & LOTS of information. Sometimes more than what you want to know.

I too am being banded on Feb. 3. Good luck and hang in there.

Thanks..

I don't have to do the Optifast diet... I just can't have any sugar or carbs. So it is a high Protein diet. Sorry!

Our day is right around the corner. TAm

Lucky you! my surgeon must prefer the Optifast because they put all of their patients on it for 2-3 weeks prior to surgery. Kinda sucks but I think I'm in the zone now, so I'm not finding it too hard.
