Pre-admin done, ~3 weeks to go!

I haven't been posting often these days--so much to do at work and getting prepped for surgery.

I just wanted to say that I'm scheduled for surgery on Nov 6 (23 days from now) and I'm starting Optifast today. I'm elated.

I also want to thank everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions, calm my anxiety, and provide support. It's been so wonderful having a great community of people who are at all stages of the process to talk to.

Thanks everyone, and my best wishes for continued success to all!

I am glad you are doing so well and starting your opti fast today. Time will fly from now on. I admire your positive attitude. The WLS community is so great and is nice to have someone that understands what you are going through. I'm scheduled for Dec 4th, but I'm undergoing gastroscopy today and hoping that won't affect my date. My opti fast is already here as well and if everything goes well, I'll start it on Nov 20th. I looked into buying some flavoring options for the vanilla shakes and found all sorts of yummy sugar free syrups so hopefully it will go down smoothly :) Good luck with everything and keep us updated!
