Whose having surgery in july? my date is the 9th!

That is my date too!! I am excited, a little bit nervous but I am keeping it together well. I am having it near where I live in the Bay Area, CA. I did have to lose a bit of weight, am down a total of 18 lbs from when I started earlier this year. I have Anthem BCBS and they have been so-so, but they are covering at 100% now. I don't have a long pre-op diet, just 48 hours before has to be clear liquids, then 2 wks full liquids, 2 wks pureed, 4 wks soft food, then back to solid at month 3.

Have you done all your shopping yet? I am getting everything this weekend, but got a Nutribullet (for the pureed and after) and food scale last week, and am trying to eat all the stuff we have around here now so that its not there afterwards. Also I'm making some household modifications - removable showerhead for the twice daily showers, extra height on my bed and couch so I dont have to bend, and rearranging furniture for easy access. Lots to do!!

oh that is your date too yay! You have to talk to me about their modifications! the military is paying for mine at 100% as well.I've Have some protein I ordered some I will get this weekend. 1 week out just a high protein low carb diet 1 day pre op liquid then 3 weeks liquid diet.

My date is the 12th and I start my pre op diet today! Super scared excited all at the same time. Nervous about after the op and how i will feel about food. Good luck to you. Keep us informed, I'm in Australia and will send positive thoughts to you :-)

thank you all the way from Australia I appreciate it. good luck to you too. ate you ready?

I think I'm ready..... I feel strong and determined but every now and then I get a moment when I think "are you really sure you want to do this?" Best thing I do is get on here and read everyone's thoughts. Keep me posted on your journey, I haven't told very many people so it will be nice to have someone to share things with
