Impatiently waiting...June sleevers?

  • Popular Post

Going through my insurance required six month supervised diet. Very anxious for time to pass to get my surgery. I finish in May, so am optimistically looking at June for surgery. Anyone else around my stage? Isn't the wait killing you????

June 2nd for me..Oh my..it will be here before I know it

Me too, DebiDoo - how are you feeling??

Yay!! I'm still waiting for my approval to come through. Hope to hear something either today or Monday!!

Day 2 of pre-op diet. Surprisingly not even craving sweets. It's national donut day and I was able to walk past them at work and not even flinch. Can wait for June 18t to get here. Ready for my sleeve and my new life!

I am being sleeved on June 18th as well. Day 5 of my pre-opt diet. Have done pretty well so far. Had a mental warfare day on Wednesday but stuck to the plan.

I walked into work today and the lady in line in front of me (we have to go through security) was holding 2 giant boxes of dounts for National Donut Day. I didn't even entertain the thought of cheating. YAY ME!! There might be some will power left in me after all :)

I am ready for my sleeve and my new life as well. Good luck to you.

How are you doing Beth?

Better each day. Strained one of my incisions on the first night home (day after surgery) by trying to get into my bed - which is significantly lower than the hospital bed was. I've been sleeping in my chair/ottoman for 2 nights now. Just reached for something and it didn't hurt - so there's progress there. Got 92g protein and 62oz fluids in yesterday (day 3) so I think that's kicking it! Also walked "laps" around my downstairs. Each one takes about a minute and I keep having to add furniture to circle around so they continue to take a minute as I'm speeding up. Anyway, did 52 laps altogether yesterday. Hoping all this pays off and I'm off these pain meds soon.

Only 3 more days until I start my pre-op liquid diet. I can't believe how fast time has gone by since I got my surgery date booked.

Yay!! I'm still waiting for my approval to come through. Hope to hear something either today or Monday!!

I'm sure you'll get It and be on the loser bench soon !

i just started following on IG..my date is 6/23..starting to get excited (and a little nervous)

Finally approved my date remains the same june 10th ! Now I'm nervous ! I just made a weightloss instagram so if anyone wants to follow my name is sleevethis

Day 4 of pre-op diet. It was tough yesterday as my parents insisted on going out to eat lunch. (my pre-op is 30-40 carbs a day) Thankfully I found a great grilled shrimp ceasar salad with dressing on the side. So far so good. June 16th, here I come.

@@thecamiraye, @@Java91, I'm nervous too. Thought I might be there only one! My surgery is planned for June 12. What helps me the most is looking at before and after pictures. I know it's going to be difficult, this pre-op diet sure is! My sister told me to write down all the reasons I have for losing weight, and keep it in my pocket, on the fridge and other places, so when I'm tempted I can look at it and keep inspired. (She's lost 50lbs w/diet pills) anyway, thought that was a great idea. I can use all the help I can get!! :)
