Amy,

I love your name ???? that is my daughter's name.

I got my date this morning too. I'm not anxious yet, I know I will be when it gets closer to the date. Right now I'm happy that I finally have the date. I hate not knowing, I like to plan a head. So having a date puts me at ease.

It all be good, we do great, all of us, June girls!

I don't know if it will help but I had my surgery 4/23... It wasn't a slice of cake but it wasn't too awful... Either way.. I would do it again!!! I'm 40 lbs down already and in a little stall which is normal... I feel so much better already and it's great that I feel like I just ate a turkey dinner after eating 2oz of cottage cheese!! : ) I found Biotin chews at GNC that taste good and I chew them to a pulp a tiny tiny bit at a time and so far I have had no Hair loss problems!! I started them a week before surgery! I have followed my docs orders to a tee! Everything is going great! In the morning I have my Chike ice coffee cause it's full of Protein and tastes good!! The Chike shakes are not bad either. I didn't like any if the other ones. If you have any questions feel free I am two weeks and one day out and feel really great!

@dreamondreamer.....We can be surgery buddies since our surgery date is the same!!!! I am really really excited. Like most of us, I have struggled with weight all my life but it became an even greater struggle due to a partial hysterectomy at 31 and then the last ovary being taken out 3 years ago. I feel like I am finally going to have a tool that will help me in my journey to be healthy. I have anxiety too but I am confident that everything will work out well. We will have to stay in touch and encourage each other. I am so glad that I found this forum. This journey is not meant to be taken alone and I am so glad to among friends :)

Anna Maria,

Why, Thank you! Unfortunately, I can't take any credit for the name!????

June Ladies,

Where do you start with preparing for such a journey? Do either of you have kids @ home? Meals to prep for family prior to surgery?

Does anyone have ideas for daily post-surgery goal setting?

Aman,

Yes!!!! We are both scheduled for June 11th, correct?

I'm so sorry to hear about your previous GYN issues. I have considered that surgery too, but I am hoping for relief from losing some belly weight.

Do you have a required liquid diet prior to OUR surgery date?

Husband and I starting cleaning out cabinets!! We were reading labels!! I am so shocked how the front of package says low fat low sugar but the item ends up with 36 carbs for 1/2 serving. I guess I need to read them better! We are just now realizing that we had items still in our cabinets from the date we moved in!!!! (2 years ago). It's still good!!! If it can stay in the pantry that long how long is it in my body and what chemicals are in it to keep it fresh that long!!!

I am trying out different shakes. Anyone found some that are awesome?

Is anyone cleaning out closets? I am pulling clothes out that are too big or I don't like. Plus I am only keeping a few items of each size. I am going through the summer so I won't need tons of dressy clothes. So my thought is clean everything out. There is no going back!!!!!!

Can you tell my anxiety is getting the best of me? I clean when I am nervous!

How is everyone else's pre jitters????

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
