Surgery Date!

Where I am getting my WLS everyone has to do Optifast for 3 weeks.  I'm done 2 now (yaaa!).  Only one week left.  It goes by fast.  In 2 weeks - the payoff is I lost 12 lbs.  So I'm thrilled.

You're dong great and the weight loss is an added bonus!

I had my pre op appointment today at St. Joe's. I'm doing 3 weeks of opti minus 1 day because I just got it today. I understood that I have to do 3 weeks based on the number of previous abdominal surgeries I had. Others who were there today only got 2 weeks. 

I guess maybe it could be the blood work or something that determines it. Nice to meet a fellow St Joes person!  Good luck!

Thank ! Same to you :)

The length of time your on opti is determined by how much you weigh. Good luck. 

Thanks Lizz!

I also had to do 3 weeks. I had a hard time with opti but in the end lots of ice and decaf coffee in a blender made it bearable. You can do it!

Thanks wiccandove. With this much support I feel I could do anything now!
