Hi all,

I’m 6 days away from surgery, been on Optifast since Jan 30th, and having a weak day. I keep thinking about food. I’ve done really well on the liquids, down 20 pounds, but my mind won’t give me peace today. I’ve had broth, sf je

I’m 8 days into 3 weeks of Optifast pre-op, and I had a slip up. I ate a can of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup. I feel so bad about it, but I just couldn’t resist. I’m hoping I haven’t ruined my hard work! 😭

My first day of Optifast. I’ve had 3 shakes. Tons of water. I have a banging headache and I just threw up fiercely. Anyone else have a tough first day?

Hi all,

I had my orientation on Feb 16 2018. Just got a call that I’m meeting with the Surgeon on April 13th. I’m with Humber River. Do I not meet with the nurse/dietician/social worker first? I’m so excited and ready to have the bypass.

Im so excited about starting this journey. My Orientation is on Friday Feb 16/18, and I want to do everything right. My Family Doctor filled out her questionnaire and I got it in the mail in plenty of time. I’ve picked up the workbook, $20. Worth it
