FAT TWO FABULOUS

I'm July 26th

We are glad to have you here with us. This is a journey and we can use all the support we can get. Great encouragement along the way will help use be success. Have no fear (although fear is a normal response to a major surgery or event), you are doing the right thing for you and your family. I know you will have much success on your journey. Good luck!

I am super excited for you! I have to calm myself because I have been getting anxious, although it is in a good way I have to be careful not to work myself up. To combat my anxiousness I am starting to prep for that day i.e. packing my bag for my 2 day stay at the hospital, shopping for my post op liquid diet, chewable vitamins....

Ha ha... that's so true. Funny...i always started my diets in October. Anyways did great through all the challenges of Halloween, thanksgiving and Christmas. You know what did me in. Valentine's day... baskin robins love potion Ice cream always came out then. Been two years since I've had it. Going strong. This will be so worth it. GrInS

I am 4TH JULY!!

Goodluck Everyone.

Me too! Goodluck!
Me also, how are you feeling?
A day before me, wow , So close, how are you feeling?
Day before me The pre op diet is interesting, I was on the low carb under 800 cal pre op but I swapped to the milk diet , which my dietician said was fine , 3 pints of milk, two diet yogurts, allowed low cal drinks, unlimited coffee and tea, one salt drink. I prefer this than measuring food, and I drank abit of alcohol before the pre op diet, and feel I need a boost to shrink my liver! . Goodluck
Goodluck Day before me, I am not excited, I am just worried lol just want to get it over with
Lucky you have no pre op diet ! I am one day before you Happy birthday and goodluc
The day after me Lucky you have n pre op!!

I absolutely ate what I wanted prior to starting. I gained 5 lbs. day 2 of my preop diet and I am down 5lbs.

💁🏻 I'm pretty sure I've gained a few. I'm just eating knowing that I'll never be able to eat like this again UGH!!! It's made me feel bad so I've stared back with a Breakfast Protein Shake and trying to lighten up lunch and dinner. But I'm already trying to plan a big lunch with friends for the day before I go on liquids and planning a huge cookout that night as my "last meal" 😔

Fellow July 19th sleever!!! I so understand your prolactinoma. Have had one for 14 years. Hoping this year is its last!

Is anyone else "eating liberally" prior to starting their pre-op diet?

Or is it just me ?

You guys are right before me. I will be looking for updates. My surgery is Weds.

Hi, I am officially a July sleever, just got the deposit in (I am doing cash pay) and finally sealed my surgery date. July 19th. I have to now get ready for the 2 weeks of Protein Drinks for 2 meals. Right after July 4, if I calculated correctly.
Im trying really hard to notice every bite of food, every automatic thing I take for granted (even today, I popped a sandwich crust from my daughter's lunch box into my mouth... whaaat? Into the trash, not me!
I've been so busy getting all the tests done etc, that only now am I starting to feel fear. But I have a prolactinoma and I will never be normal weight if I don't do this. And I've started to get the high BP and edema and such, Andy I'm old but my kids are young so I have to be healthy for a long time.
Glad to be joining you all.

We are almost twins!!! Hope you have an awesome birthday!!! Let's keep in touch!

I am also scheduled on July 5th. No pre-op diet except for two days prior. No 4th cookout and my birthday is July 11th. I'm very excited and ready to get started.

Lady I love ice coffee so I decide to make my on and it came out so good. I make folders coffee but you can use any kind. I use a whole Premier Protein chocolate drink and 1/4 almond milk a teaspoon of raw honey more if you like. Put it n to my Rave canister shake it up. It last for two days and takes craving away. This morning I used a banana Premier Protein Drink haven't taste it yet will let you know how it taste. Have a wonderful day[emoji16]

Great information, thank you

Have a Happy Birthday and good luck on your surgery. It will all be worth it.

You are going to be so pleased. I'm really shocked on how much I've lost at this point. My doctors office sent me cards to keep in my purse stating that I had gastric bypass surgery and that my stomach only holds 3oz in case I get sick and the doctor office also sent out a card just in case I go to dinner I can order smaller portion off the kids mentioned. This here is a big change for us all. And you really have to have a new way of thinking because this here is really a life style for the better. If you ever need to talk contact me any time because others that haven't had this surgery don't understand and it's not as easy as the may think. We have to eat this way for life I exercise 6 days a week so I can keep it off my 15 minuet work outs for now. I give myself a B12 injection every month for energy this is what my surgeon recommended. Well if you have any question feel free to ask.

Me to!!

I am getting sleeved on July 18th also!

Yay! I am glad to see another person with a date close to mine. Please keep me posted on your journey and I will do the same. We will be going through the post op experience at the same time. I am super excited!

I always seemed to diet right around my bday. Lol! This lifestyle change will be worth the sacrifice though!

July 5.
No preop other than the day before which means no July 4th cookout 😩 My bday is the 8th so I guess I will just have to Celebrate early. Best birthday present I could ever have!!!!

Me too! Mexico

I'm scheduled for 7/12. I start my diet on Monday.
