I am 9 days from surgery amd going into my 3 rd week on OPTI FAST and I am afraid and nervous and a little bit tense I am really not sure what to expect. I am doing very well on the shakes I have lost approx 1 pd a day since I have been on the shakes I started out at 305 pounds. Even though people have told me their horror stories I am still confident this is what i need to do I have several health isues and want to be healthy again so I can watch my grandchildren grow up.

At 50 yrs.old my doctor told me to have gastric bi-pass or I won't see 51 yrs.old. Three weeks later I was in surgery. After a year I met my goal weight. I had lost 110lbs. That was 9 yrs. ago. I am still thin. I am not sorry. Just remember to follow what your nutritionist tells you. Think healthy and happy. GOOD LUCK!! YOU CAN DO IT!
Hi there, welcome and thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. Good luck with your surgery, I hope everything goes well for you!
Every surgery has a chance of complication, you just have to weigh up what is more important to you. If you trust in your doctor and you have researched them, then hopefully everything will turn out well for you.
You've done so well on your opti-shakes so far!
Please do come back and let us know how you're doing and how everything goes.
