Hi there! Best of luck on your surgery. I wish I were going in July. I certainly hope so but it would be wishful thinking since my first surgeon appt is June 18th. My insurance approved though and my only requirements are nutritionist (also scheduled for the 18th) and Psych consult so it is possible...:-)

Has anybody started getting prepared for surgery? By that I mean getting the liquids, Proteins etc.,?

July 24th for me, can't wait! My surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet. I was told to eat light for 2 days before surgery.

Good luck to everyone.

i don't think my surgeon requires more than a few days liquid diet.< /p>

I am "practicing" eating low-carb, taking little bites but most important I been practicing not drinking while eating. I stop drinking anything 30 minutes before I eat and I wait at least 30 minutes after I eat to drink...to me this would be the most diffficult change- this is the one rule they say has to be followed forever.

It actually hasn't been to bad but does take getting used too, will be so glad to have to practice set in by surgery.

I'm hoping for July 24 too! Last appointment with dietician is June 30, then if approval goes smooth I'll be a July sleever too!

Got my surgery date today....July 1st!!! Yay! I'll be starting my 2 week pre-op diet on 6/17.

I went ahead and applied with insure nutrition as soon as I had my date to see if I could get my Protein shakes covered by my insurance. I don't know if they'll be covered, but I figured it was worth a shot. If you haven't checked into it, go to their website and apply (www.insurenutrition.com) . If your insurance will cover, you can pick between Optifast shakes or Premium Protein (which I like) and they'll deliver to your door!

Best of luck fellow July sleevers! :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
