I was hoping for May but my surgeon's office said that would probably be a stretch. I will most likely get a June date.

Ok June ppl lets get to know each other. I have been down this road once had the sleeve 9/26/12. I would like to share with you some of the tricks I learned.

1: Get a ninja blender Or a magic bullet It can make snowcones you just add Crystal light or Dasani Water drops to the ice Blend away and eat it with a Toddler or dessert spoon ;). Eat as many as you like all day and night huge help.

2: Start playing around with your preop diet now test it out for a day or two see how long you can do it. I did this 60 days before I had to do mine and by the time it was for real it was a walk in the park and I did not cheat :).

3: Start playing around with puréed food yep see what's good now. I did this found some good things was a lot easier and less of a struggle when it came to what do I eat it wasn't foreign or new to me because I tried it out first. chicken breast gravy blended up. Hormel turkey chili little bit of cheese blend it. Fat-free refried Beans plain Greek yogurt green sauce packet from Taco Bell little cheese blended up.

4: Start taking all of the required Vitamins now.

5: Protein protein and more protein Don't buy a lot of it your taste buds will change. For the first two or three months after surgery by only sample packs or small sets of protein Again your taste buds will change.

6: Start making a walk routine now. Walk 3 times a day for 10 mins each time. By the time you are done you will have a 30 min walk in.

7: If you smoke stop smoking now this was hard for me to. Soda pop drinkers you might want to cut back coz like smoking Cold turkey Sucks. These two take some time to work out of your life . Ok that's all I have ATM I hope this will help all of us June ppl to have a leg up and do the best we can do :)

P.s yes I know my typing sucks its this iPhone I think it hates me :) lol

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
