I am 6 days out from my sleeve surgery. Feeling great! I have a very dear friend coming in town who wants to meet up for dinner in 2 weeks. For reasons I dont even want to go into on here, I do not want to tell her about my WLS. I will be in the “soft foods stage” ... is there somewhere I can go out with her and not blow my cover?

I had my surgery on 7/16... feel the same way. Super tired.

Hi All... im scheduled for July 17th in NJ. I too do not have a pre op diet to follow... just eat “lite” the day before. I’ve been eating a ton and having “food funerals” I’ve decided to stop drinking alcohol and caffeine today in order to prepare...thinking about doing a liquid diet a week before just to get in the right mindset etc. July 4th will be very hard for me. Anyway just wanted to say Hi

Great job!!! Let us know how it goes!!! I just got approved today.. surgery July 17th.

My surgery is scheduled for July 17th. My Dr does not believe the pre-op liquid diets “do anything”. Anyone else have this? Seems most people in here do the liquid diet before surgery too. Curious if I should do something on my own to get my head in the game but part of me thinks I should just be business as usual.

July 17 NJ Nervous ....

@jdesmond73 what was your BMI when you tried to get approved?

Hi All I have my last appt on Wednesday (May 30th) and hopefully have surgery sometime in July. I have a 6 yo and a 4 yo. My husband is taking a week off work but no more than that. I’m wondering what it will be like on week 2. They have day camp from 9-3 on some days but aside from that will I be ok caring for them in a half ass way lol??? What was your experience? I’ll take any advice I can get.

Oh wow awesome!!! That was so fast too!!!

I have read through this and I only half way understand it ( I also have a college degree am I nuts?) My dr says Aetna only needs 4 consecutive months of dietitian and this says 6?? Nothing about 2 years... for my situation I don’t think... I’ll call them again... they are not so great on the phone.

That whole 2 year thing frightens me... do you have aetna?
