Smile Nice to meet everyone

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone. I am new to the sight. I am going for surgery on the 29th of November... VERY nervous!

Oh and these Optifast shakes are HORRIBLE! Anyone have ideas how to make these bareable!

Thanks

Joey

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Hi Joey, welcome to the board, thank you for joining us.
Congratulations on your date, this must be an exciting time for you now, with roller coaster emotions as well.

Wishing you an uncomplicated surgery and recovery.
(((((((HUGS)))))) May your journey go well.

BTW, I have taken the liberty to split your post from where you originally posted, and given you an independent thread, as you deserve one. Hope you don't mind.

Joey congrats on your date. And no the shakes are nasty and not much you can do, but maybe adding some fruit to them.

HEY JOEY!
glad you found the site
best of luck for an uncomplicated surgery on the 29th.

Well if your allowed i would add a packet of splenda to them...
SOME cocoa extract, maybe a teaspoon of peanut butter...
sugar free divinichi syrups, or a banana to help with flavor.
MIX them in a blender w/ice

good luck
look forward to getting to know u more thru your posts
OH, and dont forget to take some before pics during the
upcomeing days before surgery

Unjury is good. You have to buy it on line.
Welcome to the boards. Good luck on the 29th. I will say prayers for you!

KAT im thinking that Joey is useing the Optifast via a prescription from
her surgeon and has to use that for pre op.
MANY surgeons use this to reduce fatty livers for LAP surgery,
SHE can proly use the unjury post op but for now should stick to
this special pre op doctor the surgeon has her on!
ALL the best joey
