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?

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 was told that baby food is a good way to get proteins in. Apparently some of the other patients mentioned that to the nutritionist. I still have to look it up, but ask your doctor if that would be ok.

On way to surgery! Nervous and excited.

Hope all went well.

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...

I was in a hospital gown with an IV for 3 days. My gown was huge and I didn't give a rats ass about how I looked. I was focused on not being sick. With the IV in it will be hard to get a bra on. You will need nurses assistance.

I wore my bra leaving the hospital but sports bra for the first couple days podt.

In in the middle of my pre-op diet. (surgery Jne 30) It's a total of 3-weeks long. Two-weeks on a 1200 calorie restricted diet followed by a one week protein-shake diet.

The first couple of days I had trouble focusing and was tired. Then about Thrusday, I got really hungry. I'm better today.

I have to stop taking my arthritis pain 7 days before the surgery.

Had my sleeve surgery June 4th. Down 23 lbs as of July 2.

Surgery on June 9th weighed 289, July 7th weight is 269, waiting for July 11th to see my total weight lost since surgery :-D

Tuna and mayo

Had my surgery 6/30 & as of my weigh in on monday 7/7 I've lost 9lbs. I'm getting kind of tired of the protein shakes, eggs & pureed chicken. The cottage cheese I can still tolerate, somewhat, but I think I've become lactose intolerant. Going to test it out again tomorrow. I'll be switching to textured meats in 5 more days and can't wait. I do have a question is anyone else having problems laying down to sleep? Thanks to my very tender left side I can't find a comfortable sleeping position no matter how many pillows I use, any suggestions.
