I also bought unjury......I bought 2 chocolate splendors' date=' strawberry, and chicken soup! I am following your lead....starting now with one or two a day before my 2 week shakes begin on Jun 25!

Hope all goes well for you all! Lisa[/quote']

I tried chicken today - the Water must have been too hot. Something gross happened. I guess they mean it with the 140 degrees thing.

I also tried the strawberry in lemonade today (it was suggested on the website) I found it too sweet but might try the unflavored in lemonade.

Getting banded 7/2

My diet starts 6/19

I'm excited nervous ready to get it over with!!!

I've been trying out homemade broth recipes to see which one's I like the best I think being prepared at all times is the key to a successful pre surgery diet

I would hate to be wake up from surgery and have no band ???”

I met with the surgeon last week and they submitted everything to the insurance. If everything goes well, I am anticipating a July surgery date. That's my birthday month, so I'm saying that will be my birthday present :P

Had my pre op appointment yesterday. It went great. I start the pre op diet on June 26th but today I am starting to add shakes as you guys have done. I think that's a great idea!! I will definitely need to get to the store to get ready and have plenty of choices here. Good luck to all of you July bandsters!!! Will be here before we know it and we will be off on our new journey to health!!

Got a call from the surgical scheduler this morning' date=' 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?[/quote']

Hi - I'm not sure if I'm doing this right b/c I'm really new to posting! My surgery date is July 1! Love the idea about supporting each other over the next few weeks / months. Also, did you figure out the answer on how to add friends on MFP? Thanks! Deb

Yep - on MFP in the add friends option if you choose the "by email" button there is an option in there to add by username. I just didn't see it the first 18 times :)

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
