I'm from san Antonio texas my dr is dr.j.Wright and I can't wait I'm all done did all my clearances and my case was submitted on this past Friday I called my insurance today and they said they received it n I should hear something tomorrow or Wednesday they have 72 hours from the time they received it to make a answer I'm so excited I can't wait lol how are yals journeys ???!

i'm having mine on June 25th as well :-) I started my week of pre-op and I feel like I am STARVING! LOL (i know it's mental... and I know this is soooooo worth it.) Im excited and a little scared too, but I try to put it out of my mind... :-)

I'm the 25th, too. My doc doesn't do a pre-op diet. Just asks that I not gain a whole lot between my consult and the surgery. Had a 4 hour pre-op, hospital registration meeting yesterday. They bring in all the folks scheduled for a given week at the same time. Then they had a taste test of some high protein items, vitamins, etc. I didn't think I was nervous, but I'm not sleeping and wanting to eat anything I see, which tells me I am. Every so often I just think "what the heck am I doing!!" But I still believe its the right decision. So glad to have fellow sleevers to talk to!!

I had surgery on 6/25 as well. Still on the liquid postop diet. Can't wait until I can chew something!

I hear you about chewing!! I find myself getting so confused about what I can and can't have at this point. Living on green tea!

I am soooooo sick of this flippin liquid mess!! Arrrrgh!!! It feels like I've been "drinking" something and not "chewing" something for forevvvvvvver!!!!! I find myself still "desiring" unhealthy stuff though ... ( and truly realize the WHOLE world revolves around food...... That I CAN'T have!!!????). Ready to get to soft foods sooo badly, but in the meantime trying to figure out healthier alternatives & put that food devil -->????, that sits on my shoulder, the heck OFF!! Pray for me y'all ..... Yesterday was TERRIBLE..... Felt like crying as everyone ate delicious food for the 4th.*le sigh*

Every time I try anything thicker than clear liquids it hurts. Guess my tummy is still swollen and I'm asking too much of it by trying full liquids. Not sure which is worse - real hunger or head hunger! Trying to be gentle with myself and not get discouraged.
