Surgery is tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. at TWH.

I've lost 17 lbs on the pre-op diet as of this morning (one more weigh in tomorrow). The first 12 lbs just dropped off in the first week and then came to a grinding halt for a couple of days. The scale started a slow descent again on Wednesday and I'm happy with where it has landed, brought me under the 250 mark! .

I'm certainly ready for the next stage! Something to complement the shakes, even if it is just soup, mmmm mmm sounds real good to me!

I can't say there were any real issues in the past two weeks. Some days I was hungrier than others, oh, and I did cheat last Sunday...I had cucumber! I had one in the fridge that I didn't want to throw in the garbage and I know that other centers allow it. I guess that's an excuse but its far better than what I could have put in my mouth!

Have to say thanks to Monica9811 for becoming my mentor! We are so much alike its scary!

As long the snow stops overnight it should be smooth sailing tomorrow.

Will check in when I'm able.

Hi I had my surgery on Feb 19/16. I lost about 12 lbs on Optifast. Did have any problems. I didn't have much pain from the surgery which made me very happy. I personally feel the sooner you get out of the hospital the better. Barring any complications. Mix your water with apple juice and start sipping as soon as your nurse says. To date I am not having any real problems except some constipation. Wishing you the best of luck and maybe we can chat after you surgery.
