This sure isn't a lively forum over here in the July 2011 board! Let's get this party poppin'! We are about to have surgery, people! Awesome, exciting, life-changing surgery! Wooooo wooooooo!!!!!

Actually, there have been a few posts over here and I guess there isn't too terribly much to talk about that hasn't already been covered on the other topics, but just thought I'd say hi and good luck to all my July people! Mine is on the 18th and it's just starting to sink in that is 3 weeks away! Wow! When is your surgery? And how do you feel about it? Excited? Nervous? Hesitant?

Thanks for all the well wishes and hellos from everybody - it's good to be here

How are you feeling?!?! I'm getting mine this week!

How are you feeling?!?! I'm getting mine this week!

I'm doing good. Struggling to get everything in, made my first homemade Protein shake today. I was able to sip about half of it down over an hour or so. It's really hard because I really have no appetite. Very strange for me but I'm rolling with it.

Everything is rumbling and moving inside today, lots of loud noises and gas. Hoping that all goes away soon and I get a little appetite back so I can enjoy my shakes and yogurts and such. Then again, I've only been out of surgery two days so I'm probably being a little impatient.

I'm wishing you the best of luck and want to hear all about your journey when you feel good enough to share with us.

You seem to be having very few issues, from what I've read from others. That's awesome. From what I've read the first coupleof weeks or so suck really bad. I'ts going to be rough, but YOU CAN DO IT!! I'm getting really nervous, other than that, my liquid diet is going fairly strong! I've had a few moments of weakness, but I survived! Just the fact that you got down half a shake in an hour is pretty impressive! I've been reading A LOT that many could barely sip Water the first couple of days! Keep up the good work! You are on your way!
