Surgery date of April 27th

I have my surgery date of April 27th. I start my pre surgery diet tomorrow. I can't believe this is really going to happen.

I wish everything goes well.  My date is also April 27th.  The anticipation has been unbelievable.  I keep thinking about how I will feel a few months from now with just 30 or 50 lbs off.  Then I picture this time next year!!!!!!  How exciting!!!! I'm excited and happy for you.  Good luck on your journey.  :)  Crystal from cheyenne wyoming

Hi to both of you,

Like you both, I am also scheduled for RNY on 4-27.  Great luck to both of you.  I started Optifast Tuesday, April 15 and it is going just fine.  I am having my surgery in Fargo, ND.  I will keep checking up and see how everything goes for you all.  You are in my prayers. 

Again, my surgery is April 27th. My dr. put me on protein shakes... they are HORRIBLE!!! I'm having the hardest time getting them down! I have 3 flavors, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry.  I have 8 more days after today to drink them. I am so scared I can't do it! The shakes are making me extremely naseated! Any suggestions? 

Have you tried putting your Optifast shakes into the blender with a few ice cubes?  This idea was told to me by my nurse and boy, she was right...... It tastes MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!  It makes it creamier and much much colder.

Do you eat all the veggies that you want?  If so, do you ever steam them using chicken broth?  If not, try this because it does make them taste better.

I wish you all the best of luck and YOU know that YOU can do this.  YOU have come this close to the day that YOU don't want to back down now.  WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER.   

Where are you from?

I am on the 27th also.
I have been on my liquid diet for over a week now and the dr told me today I lost 11 lbs since I have been on it.

Good luck to everyone!
