Date set: July 11th - any other July banders?



Recommended Posts

Got a call from the surgical scheduler this morning, and my date is set for July 11th! I was hoping it might be sooner, but not surprised it worked out this way. Means I will be starting my liquid diet while I'm traveling for work - so that will be interesting. I'm also wrestling with not having our annual 4th of July BBQ at my house (which is in a prime location for watching fireworks) - maybe I'll just have ppl over for fireworks but avoid smelling burgers on the grill all day.

Anyone else have a July date set? Wanna support each other through the next weeks?

I got the call this week also, mine is scheduled for July 3rd, so I doubt I will have any problem avoiding the festivities. Whatever, if they would have given me the day before thanksgiving I would have taken it and said thank you very much. I'm just excited to finally be having the procedure.

Sweet - nice to "meet" you ladies - i'm excited to have a community to experience this with. My appointments with the nutritionist are over (for now) and I've realized (again) that I really need to log my food in order to keep track - particularly to hit my Protein goals. I just signed up on My Fitness Pal (avivasrobinson if anyone wants to be buds on there). Since I will be traveling for work when I start the liquid diet I am taking the weeks before then to start reducing my calorie intake and swapping in a Protein Drink or two for meals - yesterday was successful, and I started today with a work phone call that didn't require me to be in front of the computer so I took a walk.

how are your days going so far? anyone else doing a pre-liquid diet stepdown?

In an effort to not lose my mind going onto the liquid diet while on a work trip (and then lose my job) i'm starting to swap in 1-2 Protein Shakes for a meal/snack now. working well so far. i'm definitely feeling fuller longer with the increased Protein. my nutritionist wants me at 78g/day - which has really changed my eating habits.

yep - i bought a few tubs of the vanilla mix from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I've been subbing 1-2 shakes in for a meal+snack for the last 5 days to try and get myself ready. i tried the chocolate splendor and didn't love it (thank goodness I just bought the sample pack) and last night a sample of the strawberry and chicken Soup arrived so i'll try those today/tomorrow. I didn't really try a bunch of brands - my nutritionist gave me an Unjury sample and it tasted fine so i just went with that. I have decided (at least with the vanilla) it's worth mixing it in skim milk vs just Water - and it really does help me stay feeling full for a few hours. i've also never been a lover of Breakfast (just one of my poor eating habits) and having a shake has helped a lot.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
