I couldn't find a June Sleevers forum. If there is one already please direct me!

Well anyway, I'm glad excited that I finally got a date, June 5th. I really wanted it to be sometime during the end of May but that didn't happen. My family will be going out of town, to Disney to be specific, a few days after my surgery because my cousin from Mexico will be making his fist trip here. I'm so sad I won't be joining them but my parents keep telling me I need to look at the bigger picture, or should I say smaller. Haha. I have my preop appointment May 27th. I'm curious as to what kind of diet he will put me on! I'm just excited to get this going! So who else has a June Date? Who is hoping for a June Date? Are you ready yet? Nervous? Excited?

Hello June Sleevers! I'm new here--my surgery date is June 30th. I started my 3 week pre-op diet this Monday. I'm so excited. Glad to be in great company. I'm in Atlanta, GA.

You will see here every pre op and post op diet is way different. I have 14 days of 4 protein shake and was allowed coffee or tea. Best thing to do is following your offices plans and don't get nutty over the differences. I was bitter when I read some people had no pre op liquid diet. That didn't help me at all.

Hey everybody! I am scheduled for June 24th. I am on a two-week all liquid diet. I have to have a shake every four hours while awake 6:30, 10:30, 2:30, 6:30, 10:30. I am using designer whey because I am allergic to artificial sweetners and it uses stevia. I am also using crystal light, chicken broth, water, vitamin water zero and some zero. I drink two shakes and have some broth in between. I drink water all day and unsweetened tea. It hasn't been that bad, i was a little hungry yesterday but it got better. My issue is that I am a teacher and I now go to the bathroom every hour!!!

However, small price to pay! I am looking forward to the surgery. Is anyone else dealing with a sweetener allergy? What are you doing about it?

Correct me if wrong but doesn't crystal light have artificial sweeteners.

I stopped using AS for 8 years but with the Bariatric requirements it's hard to avoid. The regular proteins, like designer whey don't have the vitamins that the baratric proteins do. I figure I will get off AS when I can eat mushiies

There is a pure fitness crystal light that uses stevia instead of artificial sweeteners! It is great! It comes in lemonade, grape, and mixed fruit. I loved them before this surgery!

I was sleeved on Wed, June 11. Spent two nights in the hospital, mainly due to nausea. My nausea didn't come from water, I felt it was from anesthesia because it felt more like motion sickness. They put a patch behind my ear and it subsided quickly! Also started getting bad pains in my shoulder that the pain pills weren't touching. Nurse explained it was probably gas buildup from surgery that "settled" in my shoulder. She gave me a heating pad and it went away. I have 6 incisions in my belly and only 1 of them hurts now. Figured it was the one they pulled my stomach thru! Hard to stand up, but once I start walking, it gets better. I was on puréed foods in the hospital, put in jello shooter containers for me! Could only get a couple bites in so glad I didn't waste too much. Using the Unjury protein shakes...very good! I have lots of heartburn even though I'm sipping slowly. All in all, I'm doing very well and just looking forward to the incision pain to subside and I'll be good to go!!

Im scheduled for wed 18th of june...EXCITED!!

same here just a few more days

I am about a week and a half post op, I'm on the soft food stage. Anyone have any good food ideas that have protein? I still have to wait another week before I can purée meat.

I have my surgery scheduled for Monday the 16th at 9:50...I am excited and nervous..any of you ladies that already have had the surgery have any suggestions about wearing a bra after the surgery?? With my gall bladder removal, I had one incision right where by bra lays but I went home and did not wear one and did not care..but if I am at the hospital and walking around I want to be decent but not in pain...

Angela-

I did not wear a bra at the hospital. I walked around in a hospital gown and grey non skid socks. I was only there for one night. I wore a sports bra , no underwire, and a maxi dress the day I left the hospital. And flip flops. Be careful of anything with a waist or that you need to bend to get on. My surgery was last Monday. Good luck to you on your new journey

I was fine with a bra on, no pain, the incisions are lower so it didn't bother me.

Thanks for that advice. I bought comfy jogging pants to come home in. Didn't think about the incisions. Am going to have to go buy a comfy summer dress.

I've been reading a lot of the posts and watching a few you tube videos and one thing I noticed everyone has a different diet and restrictions. I can keep having coffee, but since I've been told I will be given decaf after surgery and can't have my Bustelo from home I've decide to wean myself from coffee. Don't want a migraine hitting me after surgery and I need my family to help out afterwards. I've been told that I turn into the she hulk when I'm deprived of my coffee. So I'm slowly decreasing my intake until I can go three days without coffee and work out my withdrawal issues. I also want to be able to focus on my surgery and not a migraine or withdrawal symptoms.
