hi I'm Chriss, I just joined the group and I have my VS scheduled for Dec 22nd. I'm very nervous but I'm excited for change. Hopefully this group will help with my transition into my new way of eating!!!!!

    Welcome! Best of luck for your op! How are you getting along with your pre-op diet (if you're doing one)?

    I'm actually doing well on it. They have me doing the Optifast diet 5 a day. My problem is getting all the water in. I'm nervous tho because I started on Tuesday and they want me to have lost almost 20 pounds by my final weigh in next Friday

    Ohh, that'll be easy. Just keep at it. It might help to put a timer on to help you remember to drink? I got an app called Bariatric Timer that might be helpful.

    Welcome and good luck! I had my surgery in September and I remember those feelings of anxiousness. You can do this!
