Well, here I am with my date for surgery and it's a lot further away than I had hoped but scheduled nonetheless. My date is July 3rd, 2013. I have my PreOp class on June 18th. They gave me two dates in June but both coincided with my sister's pregnancy dates (baby shower and birth) and since my mom will be taking care of both of us (in two different states) I waited on mine until July. It's not as quick as I had hoped but I'm glad it's scheduled and I'm on my way :-)

Blessings,

Chris

Congrats and welcome to the group!

Sad everyone but my surgery has been changed to Aug 6th good luck to everyone.

Anyone have surgery on the 15th?

How is everyone doing with their preop diets? It's day 7 of my preop diet. So happy to be halfway through it! It's been tough but I feel I have turned a corner.

I'm on day 8. Have cheated a bit. Havent lost a lot of weight but am losing. Surgery is Tuesday (7/16). Not excited about it anymore. Nervous. Second guessing my decision to have the surgery. I'm sure its normal - just nerves. I'll be okay. Just want to get this over with. I'm pissed at myself for overeating and getting fat. I'm pissed that the food I love to eat I cant anymore or can't eat the volume that I'm used to. I hate I'm in this position in needing surgery because I couldnt control what I put in my mouth. I'm just pissed right now.

I'll be alright. I'm just having a massive pity party. I go on clear liquids tomorrow (day before surgery). I went to the gym this morning and will go tomorrow morning. Not much else to do but try to change my attitude.

Have a good day all. I'll be okay.

It is really hard to be on the liquid diet! And I hate that food is making my life so hard right now! And I used to have Sundays where I would make spaghetti and eat it all day and watch tv after work.

Yes this was comfortable but it needed to change. Like yesterday. Nobody said this would be easy right? Don't give up and keep fighting for your health and let the food go, it's not worth our worries to keep trying to fill our bodies with junk we don't need. I'm on day 5 right now and I've cheated on my liquid diet 3 times now. And not good ha I'm gonna eat a little piece of bread or anything, I took a trip to McDonald's, grazed at a BBQ yesterday, and had a little spaghetti. But I get up after each time and say that it's hard but it will be worth it. I made a shake today and it was a lot better than it has been. So I've been getting better at making them so they are filling and tasteful and not thinking of just cheating cause I can.

We can do this!!

I am at the hospital about to go in for surgery!!! So excited

Good luck.

Nicole let us know how you are doing.

I am 5 days out and feeling a bit tired and weak but other than that doing quite well. Sipping, walking, resting,... And repeat :-)

How are all you other July ops feeling?

I am 3.5 days post-op heading home!!! I did end up with a shocker when I woke up from surgery I ended up with a gastric sleeve due to my liver being too fatty and this was a safer option but they made the poach the smallest banana they could...just cant wait to get home
