Have a date!!!
Hello, I am Laurie, 42yo married no kids. I live in the Seattle, WA area. I would love to meet some people on here for support. Please respond I would love to hear from you!!! My surgery date is April 23rd. My doctor requires a 2 week pre surgery liq diet so I am a bit scared about that but I guess it will a good start for after surgery....
Hello Laurie!
Congratulations on your date. You didn't say what kind of surgery you are having? I'm almost one month out from having lap bad surgery (Feb. 17). I feel great and I've lost 39 pounds total (since two weeks pre-surgery until today). I lost quite a bit of my weight when I went on the liquid diet. I was nervous about doing it too but I found that if I kept it in the fridge and let it get REALLY cold - it didn't matter much at all. My doctor's office sells Opti-Fast but my surgeon told me that I could also use Slim Fast so that's what I did. The Slim-Fast was about a third of the price and was very similar to the Opti-Fast. Having said all of that, I was EXTREMELY happy to get to eat regular food (just a bit ago). I go for my first fill on April 2nd so I'm a bit nervous about that.
Oh, please excuse my manners. My name is Sharon and I am 44 years old and live in Southern California. So, it's nice to meet you (in a round about way) and I'd be more than happy to be one of your penpals!
I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, My surgery date is April 6th. It's a revision. I'm switching from the lapband to the lap RNY. I didn't do well with the lapband, so I've decided on the RNY. I'm scared, but God will see me through. I have to do the 2 week pre surgery liquid diet also, with one meal a day. Then 48 hours before the surgery I have to do 5 protein drinks each day. . You'll be fine. The protein drinks will fill you up. I have a nephew who lives in the WA area. We were t here for the wedding last year. I live in the Boston, MA area. I would love to hear from you. Take care
