Hi everyone,
 I was just wondering how long before surgery day do you usually have the pre-op at the Vic?

Thanks Nicole

My pre-op at The Vic was 13 days before my surgery.

I'm doing good...my stomach and sutures are a bit tender but I'm able to move around with ease.  I'm able to get in my clear liquids too, but it's slow going because the sips are so small.

I found the Optifast really hard the first 3-4 days.  It got much easier by the second week and I actually looked forward to the shakes.   I told people that if for some reason my surgery was postponed I would have easily been able to manage 3 weeks of shakes.  I mixed mine in the blender with ice and crystal light with the vanilla or instant coffee with the chocolate.  If I was in the mood for some extra sweetness I added some splenda.  

Congrats on your surgery date.  If you're anything like me the next month will be filled with many mixed emotions.  I just kept my eye on the prize and thought of others before us who had absolutely no regrets in having the surgery.
