Hi all, so I'm 10 days out from rny and I'm having the most irritating experience with a co-worker. I have been very guarded with whom I have told about my upcoming surgery for this very reason. Apparently I wasn't careful enough. Turns out, this woman found out because she eavesdropped on a call about a month ago while I was arranging my pre-op appointments. Ever since then she has been constantly trying to engage me in conversations about my surgery. Her favorite topics are whether or not I've cheated on my pre-op diet, and whether or not I've given any thought to how much plastic surgery I will need after my weight loss. Well, I've been pretty much nodding, smiling, and trying to change the subject but just a few minutes ago she came into my office and went body part by body part telling me where she thought I would and would not need plastic surgery! According to her, my arms will be ok, but I will definitely need it on my stomach! I finally cut her off midsentence by saying, sorry, I have to run I'm late for a meeting. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'm just so appalled that she would think that's in any way acceptable.

June 15th here. Good luck to you!

Good luck to both of you! I will be sending up prayers for successful surgeries and speedy recoveries!

Thanks so much! I will definitely be in touch because my husband is having sleeve later in the year. Wish you the best as well. My husband will also be getting sleeved, probably this time next year. The three of us will definitely need to keep in touch. 12 more days!

June 15th is going to be our lucky day!

We are date twins! How cool! Have you started your pre-op diet yet? I have and I'm miserable!

I work in the school system and started this journey in January when my insurance kicked in for the new year. I was given the option of surgery as early as March but I decided to wait I until summer so I would have plenty of time to heal and adjust to my new way of life. I'm scheduled for rny on June 15th.

I like to mix mine with warm chicken broth. That really masks the taste.

4shooters, I can't imagine how frustrated you must feel right now. June 29th will be here before you know itß

Good luck to all the June 1 people today! Sending positive thoughts for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!

Hi all! June 15th here!

I'm 2 weeks away from surgery ( ) and I have been working on making freezer meals for my husband. To get us through the liquid phase of my diet (3 weeks) I've made easy things like lasagna, casseroles, etc. that way, I don't have to be involved with food prep at all: my husband can just pull his meals out of the fridge or freezer and microwave/bake. As far as once I have entered the puree/soft foods stage, I also have some high Protein, low carb freezer meals prepared that just require me to pull them out, dump in the crockpot and cook on low all day. Then I can just puree my portion in a blender, and my husband can enjoy his non-pureed portion. I'm also planning to clean my house from top to bottom and make sure all laundry is clean/folded/put away the night before surgery. That way I come home to a clean home, all meals prepared, and I can focus all my energy on recovering.

Hi everyone! Scheduled for rny on June 15th. Good luck to those of you who are having surgery this week!

My insurance went by my weight at my inital consultation.

Hi everyone! My surgery date is June 15th! So excited (yet incredibly nervous) to being this journey. All my pre-op stuff is done, and insurance submitted and approved. Now I'm just slogging through my pre-op diet and trying to keep busy to make these next 14 days fly by.
