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>

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
