I am hoping to make the July list! I am just waiting on a insurance now. Everything was submitted last week. I already have vacation scheduled in July so hoping it all works out and can have it then.

I don't have an exact date. So far they are telling me mid-July. Yes, it seems all I think about now. I'm an older sleever - 67. Was afraid they would tell me I'm too old! I've been obese for about 30 years. Of course, I've tried and lost and gained several times over the years. I really want to spend the rest of my life in the best health possible. Don't feel old yet and don't want to!

Hi lilyrose - I just found out today that my surgery date is 7/9. I'm 58 and wish I had done this sooner, but sometime is better than no time. I'm going to spend the next few weeks getting all the goodies I need and start writing down ideas for meals when we can eat. I went to a local support group tonight and 5 former patients were there to tell their story and for encouragement. Glad I went. Good luck to you - I'll be sure to check for your posts to see how you are doing.

Sorry I didn't get back with you on this.

I have been buying applesauce/ pudding/ Jello and trying to get used to the texture. I used to hate all these non chewable foods, but apparently that is the point now. :)

I also bought the sample packs of Unjury Protein packets. I tried the chicken Soup this am, and was sadly disappointed. I don't know what it was, but I could not stomach it at all.

I have a couple of boxes of sugar free Popsicles in the deep freeze too.

That's my plan. I don't want to have to run out in the first couple of weeks to the grocery store full of food that I can't eat, just to buy liquids.< /p>

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
