hi everyone! Not sure this is the right board for an intro, but here I am. I've been lurking for sometime. Today was day one of 3 week opti pre op diet! Surgery is scheduled for September 8!

Just wanted to let you all know how helpful this board has been in getting me it this point

Welcome.  The first few days were the hardest for me.   I think days 2 & 3 were the worst - headache and upset tummy.  After that it wasn't too mad.  Just make yourself determined to stick it out and loose as much as you can during pre-op.

Thanks everyone! I hear things start to feel a bit easier by day 4-5 once ketosis kicks in. Here's hoping!
