Hi My name is Jamie, age 35 from Kitchener. I am having my post op diet class in Guelph on Nov. 20th after just receiving green lights from SW, Dietician and Nurse. I will meet the surgeon sometime after that.

I am really nervous, freaking out about the optifast diet; wondering how i`ll ever make it through those 2 weeks!!

surgery scares the crap out of me too! I have two children at home, a 3 yr old daughter and a 13 yr old son.

 

Would love to connect with some others going through guelph.

Welcome to the forum.

 

Don`t freak out about Optifast.  There are a multitude of ways to doctor it to get it down.  If you only have two weeks, it will fly by.  I did three week of Opti and did all chocolate flavoured :)

 

Being obese, or morbidly obese should scare the crap out of you more than surgery.  Won`t it be nice to enjoy life more being healthier?  Spending better time with your kids.....having more energy?

 

All the best.....you can do it!

Welcome to the forum..best of luck on your journey.  Optifast is not so bad, I am sure you will do okay., just think of the benefits.

Hi and welcome. It's normal to be scared as you get closer to the surgery. As mentioned, a shorter lifespan from co-morbidities from the extra weight is pretty darn scary too.

I will be going through Guelph.  I am waiting for my letter for orientation so I'm at the beginning of the journey.  Good luck.

I liked Optifast, to me it was simple and delicious.  Don't freak out until you try it.
