Congratulations! I remember that feeling! I was with TWH and transferred to Guelph. From the time I got the call to surgery was like a month! It almost seemed surreal after the waiting and not knowing how long it would take.

Congratulations! I was on opti for 3 weeks and it went by quickly. The first week is a bit tough but after that your body adjusts and it's fine. Good luck!

Do you remember roughly how long after the optifast was done was your surgey date?

My surgery date was the day after my last optifast, so 3 weeks after the first one. If you're on it for 2 weeks, your surgery will be 2 weeks after your first day of opti.

Congratulations TMac!

You are so close. I didn't even have a fatty Liver and I needed to do 3 weeks of Opti but ended up doing almost 5 weeks.

After the first couple of days you learn to enjoy it! I still miss my Opti morning shakes. I liked them better then the Premier shakes.

You got this!
