July 25th! Its so far! Wish it was closer

Almost 2 months post op! It was a rough recovery but totally worth it! 64 lbs down...and just getting started ❤️

Just had my final pre-op appointment yesterday and I was so stoked when I stepped on the scale and it said 249lbs.!!! I've been tolerating the liquid diet really good, no headaches or nausea. However, I did have a craving to chew some food...I chose to chew up a popsicle instead. I've come to far to listen to my cravings...not today Satan!!!
HW: 297
CW: 249
SW: We shall see when the 25th comes!
GW: 145

Okay officially been given my date today...drum roll....Friday 27th July at St Peter's hospital , Surrey, UK. Still waiting to hear from pre op. So I travel to LA next week for my son's 18th Birthday (been planning that for three years) then I fly back for three days and then head to Spain to see my parents. Return home for three days and then in hospital for the op.
Also have to do a three week liver shrinkage diet before hand!! PS not telling anyone about my op, I have just said I am having my gall bladder out!
This is going to be the busiest July of my life and probably the most life changing. Feeling completely overwhelmed by everything at the moment and giving myself panic attacks, genuine ones not just saying that. Having a hideous menopause with mega hot flushes.
Phew, is that too much information?!

Amazing! Mine is july 25th! Tons of luck!

I'm July 24th. It seems forever away and I'm starting to panic. I've fought myself in the "I better eat this now while I still can" trap. Need to get my head in the right space over the next few weeks!

Hello, I'm new and have a surgery date of July 3rd. Get to see the fireworks from my hospital room.

July 17 :) Scared out of my mind.

I'm having my surgery on July 19,2018 . I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

Good luck! Praying for you!

Frustr8,

Excited for us! I can't wait to be on the Loser's Bench. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

gr8ful1,

I think most surgeons will repair it at the same time instead of doing two separate surgeries. Hopefully yours will!

Hey Megan,
I've been preparing slowly. I have all of my Vitamins, but am still leery about stocking up on too much Protein since I've read our taste buds can change after surgery. Don't want to be stuck with something that's disgusting! I haven't purchased a single thing for the pre-op diet because they haven't told me what I will be having.

My pre-surgery appointment is the 18th - we have a group appointment when we go over the diet etc., then an appointment with the psychologist, then the surgeon to review everything and ask any questions, and last of all we go over and pre-register @ the hospital.

I'm excited and nervous!! I fear the foamies!! I've read some experiences with it and it appears to be dreadful! I am also not looking forward to the Lovenox Injections we have to do. It appears that things can either be super easy or super awful, but after a while it seems to settle for everyone. It's getting closer!! Our lives are about to change! 🙌🏼

4th of July for me - but the irony of the date is wasted because I'm in the UK!
Got my pre op appointment on Tuesday, and I've just returned from a week holiday so I'm trying to be saintly with the foods!

I am having mine on July 23. Very excited to get this done and start the next part of life! I’m in MN. How about you? When and where?

Is anyone else having surgery in July?
