My surgery was scheduled for July 24th, but some upcoming changes in my life dictated that I get on the train a little more quickly, or put it off till this fall (which would have really devastated me, since I've been mentally preparing for so long!). I love the people at NWWLS in Everett - Leigh worked to get me in on July 2nd, and I'm extremely grateful to her for putting up with my frantic calls

Now the surgery is oh-so-real - I'll be starting my pre-op diet on Monday, and I'm determined to stick with it and lose 10 lbs.

Congrats I'm july 2nd to !

Best of luck! Let us know how it goes!

Congrats! We'll only be a day apart--good luck!

Thanks, all!

I'm having a bit of the "what am I doing???" anxiety this morning, but it will pass. I'm excited at the same time, so it does feel a little odd B-)

I am going through nwwls also. I think sometime in August. Trish will submit to insurance after I meet with nut next week. When is your surgery and who is your surgeon? Mine is dr. Chock

I have Dr Michaelson, and my surgery is on July 2nd. Have you met with Sarah (the dietician) before? She's a sweetheart

Not yet my appointment with her is Wednesday. Wow what is that like two days? How exciting! Where are you having surgery? I'm going to evergreen.

Hi, we have the same sleeve date. Just wondering how you are caring. I live in houston.

I'm doing great! I've been able to get in around 60 grams of Protein and somewhere between 48 and 65 oz of liquid while I've been on the full liquids. I'm about to start soft foods, and I expect it will be a bit tougher to get my protein initially, so I'll be sticking with at least one Protein shake a day.

My pain is pretty minimal at this point - a little still in my left shoulder and an occasional nudge from a couple of my incisions. I also still tire a bit easily, but not so badly that I can't function. I could have probably done fine at work starting last Monday. I walked about 2.5 miles today.

How are my fellow July 2nd sleevers doing?
