My name is Chrissie and I am currently doing the optifast diet pre surgery.  My date is set for 25 Of March.  I have my train ticket books and paid for.   I am excited and nervous.  I miss real food but know that this is a choice that is the best for my health and my family.  Would love to meet others that are or have gone through the same roux en y surgery.  I am also willing to pass on my experiences so far and be a good friend to listen.  

I am having RNY too. Wow, less than a week to go! Best of luck with your surgery, praying for no complications :)

I wish mine were tomorrow! I am so excited to start the journey back to good health and mobility!

I have been researching wls for over a year while hoping that my latest diet would work instead. After turning 50 last fall and realizing that I have been hoping for a diet to work for me since I was 16, it was time I admitted that I needed more help. Since I can't afford to pay someone to make all my meals in the right proportions and slap my hands when I reach for more, it was time to take back my life. 

I started the process in January and have passed all the hurdles and surprise -  I have a surgery date now - April 29th - the day I makeover my mind and body :) I start on the dreaded Liver diet on April 19th. The practice I am working with, Synergy Bariatrics, is recommending Bariatric Fusion protein shakes. It's their own brand. Can anyone recommend the protein shakes they are on? that actually tastes good? Bariatric Fusion does have one that is Mint Chocolate Ice Cream - very yummy, but the other flavors, not so much.

I am hoping to learn a lot about your journeys through these forums so I know what to expect in each step. 

I am looking forward to interacting with you all and help where I can.
