Hi Folks.

Can anyone tell me what the drawbacks will be if I only drink 3 opti a day not 4. I can get the three in but by the time the 3rd is done I am not able to get a fourth. I can't drink them cold they just won't go down. I drink them w

Is anyone out there in OH land having surgery June 20th?

If so do you want to be scared and excited together?

My surgery is the last one on the 20th, 2:00 pm.

Hi All,

Can we put unsweetened coco in opti, I find it way too sweet.

I just received a call from TWG and they are moving my date up from August 22 to June 20th!!! I can't wait.

I start opti tomorrow!!!

For decades I hated the way I looked. But pretended to everyone I didn't care if I was big or what people say. I did and still do make jokes about myself, before others can. I am revealing now to people I think may have experienced the same feelings.

I am still pre-op, but preparing for opti and post op. I have given up caffine for quite some time now and I drink only decafinated coffee, I have also given up cream and use powdered whitener. It is 10 calories per tablespoon. I use one tablespoon in

I know most if not all are against eating bread. However, I found this protien bread which I keep frozen until I use it because it is 4.00 a loaf and a loaf is 6 slices and they are thin like weight watchers bread. However I love it! Makes an amazin

Hi All.

Has anyone created a tool kit? I am putting together a post-op "Help me to succeed kit", I was wondering what you may have in yours.

So far I have:

A food scale, measuring cups, measuring spoons, small plates and bow

Does anyone have any feedback regarding Dr. Timothy Jackson at TWH. I found out today he is going to be my surgeon.

I don't know if I am just getting anxious or if I am going crazy, but WLS seems to consume me lately.  I am constantly checking to see if there are new posts, constantly researching - I think I have read everything there is to read on the net. I buy di

Can anyone tell me if there are any private rooms in the Bariatric ward in TWH?  Is there semi private? Or are they all ward rooms (3-4 guests per room)?

Does anyone know when TWH is booking for surgery, are they still months behind?  My "meet the surgeon" appt is on April 7th, any idea when they may book my surgery?  Getting anxious.
