I am having mine June 25th as well. Been on my liquid diet for 17 days... have to be on it total of 21! This is hard but I'm doing well. I've lost 14 pounds and I hope to lose more before Monday... but we will see. Anyone know how the pain will be after the surgery? What anyone has told you? I wonder how much I will lose by July 28th.... that is my 10 year high school reunion and I want to look good :) It is sooo nice to know that I am not alone on June 25th :)

Had my pre-op appointment today. Was a bit surprised when I found out the surgery was going to be 3.5 hours long. Perhaps it's longer because I'm getting another Endoscopy before the sleeve. They took 4 vials of blood, urine and topped it off with an EKG. On stop shopping, lol! Time to start packing for the hospital; I'm probably going to obsess over it all weekend.

Best Wishes,

Rachel

Three days to go before surgery. I have lost 15 lbs during Pre-op diet. I am feeling a little anxious and apprehensive. I am ready to get this new journey started.

I found this site a while ago but just joined today. I am a June 25th'er as well... in Cincinnati, Ohio.

If this makes you feel any better, I've been on the pre-op diet for FOUR weeks! For my DR, that (is supposed to) means no real food, all powdered packets plus one Protein bar a day. I've found very few that I can stomach the taste of. If followed as prescribed, it's only 600-800 calories a day. In Week 2 I was at the gym and got very light headed and disoriented then threw up when I got home. Instead of telling me to eat more or have some meat, the dietician said "stop working out until surgery." That's how I was keeping myself busy so I wouldn't sit at home and think about my hunger. I had to lose 40 pounds before my DR would even let me schedule surgery. I've lost 65 total since Feb. I have had a few "cheats" but four weeks is a long time and I've surpassed their goals. The last two weeks have been the hardest because I'm a teacher and now that I'm out of school I don't have the same daily routine and have a whole day of opportunities to cheat!

In other news, I'm freaking out... even though this has a 1.5 year process, it has yet to hit me. I live alone so I'm staying with my parents for at least a week. I told my younger sister she had to be there Sunday night because I will probably be crying hysterically or hyperventilating, or both!

Good luck everyone!

"click" on your ticker, from the entry you made above, it should direct you to the site. Look for "edit" button or feature. It should allow you to input current weight.

Decided to have a pedicure today, so I'll have nice feet for surgery. Wouldn't want them to talk about me while I'm out of it. ;)

Heee,heee, I'm off to have a peddicure as well. I don't want them to say "look at the hooves on this one". :P

I've tried to click on my ticker and it takes me to the main forum page. Then I went to my profile and tried to edit the ticker then I deleted it. Now I can't even log in from my computer. It will only let me log in from Facebook or twitter. I don't want to log in using those because my friends and followers can then see that I'm on vertical sleeve talk. What the heck did I do wrong?

I chopped up my last green salad and started crying when I put away my knife and cutting board: I know I won't see them again for almost 2 months. Clear Liquids tomorrow then surgery Monday from 11:40 until 3:10. At this point all my friends know about surgery which is a good thing, it's not like they won't notice me shedding pounds soon. I'm proud of what I'm doing for myself, perhaps I can inspire others. Anyhow, doing well overall, when I'm not crying like a baby! Will check back in tomorrow, take care fellow sleevers <3

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
