    Surgery tomorrow, 11:30 VGS. Dr. called to let me know of an emergency. He has to leave town after surgeries tomorrow. Another Dr. Will be on call for emergencies and his nurse practitioner will be doing rounds and checking in with him. Do I want to reschedule? Nope, I trust him and know he would not ask someone to cover whom he did not also trust. So tomorrow it is! Best of luck to all of us July 23 peeps!

    I had a scare yesterday. Dr wanted another CBC. My white blood count came back high again! I already missed 6/4 and 6/11 surgery dates. They cannot find a problem causing this. I am so scared the Dr is going to call me and tell me its a no go.

    Hey Kelly,
    My doc did not give a specific calorie number so I have no idea where I'm supposed be. Some people here on VST are only getting 300-400 at this stage, while others were told 600-800 and others 1000-1200. Everything is so ambiguous....it's frustrating because I have no idea what's the right amount of carbs or calories at this stage. I'm averaging about 800 right now. I do have a tough time getting in enough Water but since I switched to plain Water with just lots of lemon and some Splenda I'm doing much better getting it down. I'm not a much of a fan of Crystal Light or MIO... I sometimes do the nectar Fuzzy Navel Protein  powder with water during the day and that give me a two-fer --- water and Protein and it kind of taste like an Orange Julius.
    My but gave me this along with the recommendation of less that 3o grams fat and 30 grams carbs for fist 3 mths. Then first year no more than 50 grams fat and carbs. Seems like every Dr. and program is different so check with your doctors / but and stay on your program. Best of luck.20190716_130730.jpeg

    Sorry everyone.. I've been positing here thinking my date would be July but I just got a call from my surgeons office giving me a date of August 5th. Hopefully I can still follow you all and your journey!
    You are really close to us and on the same journey. Hang in there July will speed by and August will be here before you know it.

    Sam's club is the place for Premier Protein drinks right now, until July 14th. I think I will have 2 shakes a day and a sensible 500 - 600 calorie meal, but I will run this by my Dr on Thursday. Eating 1500 calories a day is a daunting task for me right now do to my body drama. I'm also on hormone therapy as a result and don't want to start gaining weight as a result during the pre-op phase. I want to be surgery ready, once the body drama is settled and treated. I've been on this journey since last September and decided in April to get the vsg...in the Kaiser process now and looking to have surgery in the beginning of 2020...this body drama wasn't in the plans and neither were my crazy labs...
    I had crazy labs also. I am scheduled for sleeve on July 23 but I was originally scheduled for beginning if June and had a setback with high white blood cell counts from April - June. Labs look better now so I am cleared for surgery but all the antibiotics they had me on have left a sun sentativity and I have itchy hives up and down my arms just from checking my mail. I know what a challenge it is to eat healthy when you are stressed and waiting but keep up the good work and you can get through it.

    I am glad you got good news from the hemotologist! That is great!!!!! Here's to that antibiotic getting you to the all clear soon.
    And you will still be an honorary June Surgery member no matter what your date... Keep on keeping on!
    Thank you for the encouragement. I am trying to take care of me and trust in my health care providers that when it is safe this will all happen. Now to stay on my food/exersize plan so I remain good to go.

    Update - Still do not have medical clearance for surgery. On a possitive note a hematologist reviewed my blood work and does NOT think luchemia is a worry. I am on a high power antibiotic to kill whatever is causing my high white blood count then we will test again at end of the month. So no June surgery for me. I hope all of you have success on your liquid diets and surgery. I hope to be joining you soon.

    The increased white blood cells could just be from an infection. That's the bodies' response to infection or what it perceives to be foreign. This is all to make sure that you are as healthy as you can be going into surgery.

    I am. Today we did a CT of sinus, Monday we did an ultrasound of ovaries, my colonoscopy and endoscopy look good, so did my lung eray. Oh yeah, next week they are doing a mamogram. So I will have had whole body scanned! Hopefully they will pinpoint the problem soon. Thank you for all the encouragement.

    I wish I had magic! Lacking that I'm sending support your way. That waiting really is the hardest part. Sounds like your doc was pleased with today's numbers, though. Hang in there -- you're almost there, but yes it looks a long way off.
    Thank you. I am trying so hard to remain positve. He keeps telling me he is just checking but this is scary and I just want to move on. I feel good, his nurse keeps calling me to see how I am feeling today. FINE. I am not sick... just fat and need a bit of help with that. Drinking my Water, walking, and watching what I eat.[emoji1]

    Hi everyone!
    Kind of down today. I have a tentative surgery date of 6/4/19. Just need PCP clearance. Today was the 4th visit in a month. He keeps ordering the same blood work. Today he smiled and said "better this is good news". Then ordered another blood test. Results will be in Wednesday. (They are watching high white blood cells and have done 3 studies, no cancer cells but abnormal cells present. I have a son with lukemia CML.). Surgeon insurance gal worried we are cutting authorization close. She penciled me in on both 6/4 and 6/11. When I worry I tend to eat and my weight has been stuck at 215 for about a month. So BMI 39-40. So now not sure how long for preop diet. So weight check on Wednesday. Sorry for rant, just so close and still soooo far away.
