RNY Surgery Aug 14- Dr. Anvari-Hamilton, Ontario Canada

 I'm so excited, My surgery date is getting closer. I start the optifast on July 29th...second day of our holidays...that scares me a little, as I dont know how Im going to manage......

I am with you there, I start on the 31st. I know it will be hard but I figure if I can do this pre surgery liquid diet I can do anything. I'm scared too. I am sitting here getting sick to my stomach because I haven't eaten yet this morning. So that makes me wonder how I will do. I am doing Boost glucose control shakes and they are ok but sweet :(
But we can do this. We're strong and we're taking back control of our lives. We just have to stay focused on what's coming. Good health and no more fear of breaking chairs and fitting in chairs and all the other things we think about that skinny people don't have to.

WE ALL N THE SAME BOAT. I STARTED JULY 31 WITH OPTIFAST. I WAS HUNGRY EVERYDAY SO I STARTED EATING GREENS N YUGURT SOMETHING THAT WOULDNT STAY ON ME LONG. THIS WAS SO HARD I HAVE CRIED N IM SURE I WILL BE CRYING SOME MORE. BUT IT IS MY TIME TO LIVE NOW!!!

I WISH U THE BEST GOOD LUCK.
