Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

Sooooooo... Some of us are gearing up for surgery! What are the non-pre-op-diet-peeps planning on eating the next few days. I know I HAVE to get in some Taco Bell and macncheese. Lol absolute MUST!

I didn't plan well for my 2 week Atkins diet. So I'm heading to grocery store today (I was so worried about post op diet I guess). So instead of a 14 day diet, it will be more like a 12 day diet for me. :-) I think grilled chicken is going to be my best friend, along with sugar free jello and water. I'm starting to measure my water intake because that has always been a problem for me. I do think I will have McDonald's fries one more time though...

It's JUNE!!!!!!! Our month!!! I'm praying that everything goes well for all of us. I pray that cold symptoms disappear' date=' nerves subside, and we all have HUGE success in our new lives! I told someone the other day "I don't want to be skinny, just smaller." Then I got to thinking...why not skinny? I think that was just my way of hedging so if I was a failure at this new lifestyle I could say I never wanted to be skinny. But I decided to be BOLD and CONFIDENT and say "I want to be skinny!" Bump that smaller crap. LOL I've been big my ENTIRE life...NO MORE!!! :-D. Happy June everyone![/quote']

That was beautiful, Be bold in the Lord, and it will come to pass, Happy June everyone, Im not really anxious, I've prayed and everybody will do well.

My nutritionist told me to think that way. I even bought a divided baby plate to help with my portions and I'm going to use baby spoons that I already have to make sure I'm not eating too much too fast.

Im definitely onboard with this concept, Im going shopping this weekend to buy my new baby (my pouch), baby plate, spoon, and rattle, lol

I think its a good name. People will be able to find it and use it as a source of help when they google about surgery. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

That's awesome!!! I'm 395 so I'll be very happy at 200lbs. There is a lady that goes to my center and she was size 26 jeans and now a ZERO.. It's so crazy.

I' m going to find out my surgery date on June26. I still have fears about being denied for some unknown reason. I've struggled with being over weight since second grade. 10 years ago I had lost 107 lbs(Jenny Craig) only to gain all but 10 lbs back. I'm watching what I eat but I don't seem to be losing much weight at all, I even gave up eating pasta. My husband doesn't really talk about my decision to have a gastric bypass. Sometimes he does point out what I won't be able to eat post op. I don't think he wants me to lose weight. But I'm determined to, I'm tired of being overweight.

I am really short 5'2" so 220 is really big on me. I have a small frame too - I could never say "I've got big bones" LOL. I have a sister that weighs 200 and she looks great! But, she is 5'10" and build way differently than me.

Surgery scheduled for June 24th.

Congrats! We are scheduled for the same day. Looking forward to the journey, Hopefully we will be a source of support for one another.

I understand. I'm 5'11 so 190 is ideal an ill get as close to that as possible.

I am also short @ 5"3 & 235lbs a size 22/24 . I'm struggling to not get any bigger til surgery, I hope!

I have always said I have a relatively high palm tolerance' date=' bug giving surgery 2 days ago, this is kicking my butt.

Just realized though that the pain medication is also making me nauseous so I need to stop taking it. Also they tried oxy for take home medication and I broke out in hives last night. Wonderful. Good luck to everyone today![/quote']

They can give you something sublingual for nausea. I got a prescription for that with my pain meds, but I haven't needed it.
