Halloween!!!

Wow one more week and i will finally be in surgery. I have to start my optifast tomorrow morning. I am getting so many mixed feelings. I know that this is going to be the best thing i have done for myself but i am starting to feel so nervous. I know this is normal but i just cant stop thinking about it. .......

I am with you on this one; I'm feeling nervous too. The only thing that seems to help me is to pause and reflect on the things that brought me to this decision in the first place, and that reaffirms my belief that this is the right thing for me to do. Optifast for a week? It's funny how it is different with every surgeon. For me, I had to lose 10% of my body weight, and clear liquids for two days before surgery. Good luck sticking with the optifast! I'm trying to get down a bottle of Isopure; the stuff is revolting, but I've been trying to load protein prior to surgery, and this is the only clear liquid that contains protein. Man, does this taste nasty. Sheryl

It is SOOO normal, but you will get past it and you will go back and forth a lot! Hang in there, it's going to be FINE! Focus on the outcome! HUGS, Vi
