You look Soooooo good! Congratulations!!!!!

It is major surgery.... and you will feel bad the first few days.... BUT I am only 6 days out and feel wonderful! I already know that this was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. It is worth it as far as I am concerned. I don't have a terribly high pain tolerance either! It's okay to be nervous, it's okay to…

lol... yup! buyers remorse is now gone! Feeling much better and find myself touching my stomach and smiling... :D

Hello friend. It sucks doesn't it! I am nearly a week out and do you know what I am already mourning for.... (this one is a killer for me).... feeding my family and husband. I am not a 1950's house wife person by any means BUT I express my love and care through cooking beautiful meals for my family and I am having to step…

Thanks heaps. Honestly for the past few days I was having serious buyers remorse! However today I finally managed some good toilet time and my bloating has been relieved... I feel like a new person! I am seriously looking forward to this journey. Now feeling a bit better I can get happy for it again. That and I painted my…

Hey Rob. I'll be thinking of you going in next Tuesday. I am sending you all of my good thoughts, you'll have to let me know how it goes. Not long now!

Hey all. I'm at home. 3 days post op. feeling the gas pain.... can't wait to get through this part, then nothing will stop me!!

So sorry to hear about your Mum. My thoughts are with you.

Hey. I just wanted to say congratulations on your surgery date! I don't have any suggestions about what is needed after because I am pre op too!

Congratulations! That is so incredible. 7 and a half hours of anything makes me bite my lip and grimace. You totally rock.

Friend! Hope your insurance approval flys by! Let me know how it all goes.

Hello! Thanks for the welcomes guys, I am really feeling the love! Which is such a nice thing. JxAAA :80lbs in 6 months! Way to go!!! You really deserve a huge congratulations for that, hopefully when I am that far along I can post something similar! loriloftness: Loving that my surgery date is such a lucky day! I will…

Hello! I'm in Australia, still searching for what will be a good one here too!

Pureed meat in liquid does sound a little icky... but at the time I bet it will taste like the most awesome thing ever! Heck, even on optifast that sounds great....

Hey guys! Thanks for all the awesome advice. Just went shopping and bought a sunbeam cheapy version of the magic bullet and some funky scales that measure all kinds of things asides from just weight! It will be nice to be able to look at body fat and hydration levels too! Oh and some kitchen scales as well. Feeling much…

Yay and congratulations! It's really exciting isn't it! Feel free to friend me!

Thanks guys! Great advice and now it looks like I will have to do some shopping.... :D

Oh! BTW 30 pounds is absolutely kick *kitten*! CONGRATS!

Finding other ways to deal with emotions is one of the things that I have been worried about going into this. I am still 8 days pre-op but already I know that I cannot eat away emotions, I will need to deal with them instead. I am the woman who provides food for my family and friends, I cook well... it is such a part of me…

On the home stretch! Good luck with approval! Nice to meet you as well!

Nice to meet you Rob!

TY very much!

How are you going now? :)

Congrats! Awesome news for you! I wish you all the luck on your journey :)

Hello Holly! I am new here as well, in fact this is my first post! I am doing my pre-op diet now and my surgery is scheduled for the 24th of September all going well *fingers crossed* My name is Bec and I was so scared to start the Optifast VLCD (Three replacements a day and non starchy veg) because I wasn't sure that I…
