Congratulations!!! I will be one year post op on December 19.... I started my liquid diet (Opti-Fast) on December 1st last year - the day I after I returned from my wedding in Jamaica. Doing the liquid diet in December, right before Christmas, felt like torture, but I did it. Right after surgery, everything seemed A-Okay but shortly after, I struggled tremendously for about 7 weeks and was full of regret. Doing the surgery over Christmas was very hard BUT a year later and I couldn't be more grateful that I did it!! Nearly a year later and I am 132 pounds lighter, pregnant with my first child, and am eating so much healthier. I can now go out and enjoy food again, I feel like a million bucks, I am often told I look like a million bucks. My energy is so high, I am so happy!! I just wanted to let you know that this is a really difficult time to do the surgery BUT it is worth every bit of it. You will have up's and down's and that is normal - this will be the best decision you will ever make in your entire life. If you have any questions, concerns, etc. please feel free to ask!! I found this forum to be my life saver when times were tough!! YOU CAN DO THIS! CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK!!
