Hi!

I scheduled my surgery for July 15th yesterday. I am hoping maybe more people find this monthly forum....

I'm nervous, excited, and ready.

Sorry my spellchecker had fun but I think it still makes sense.

I'm on July 13th too

How are all the July post-ops doing? I had my bypass on July 7th and am doing well. Still getting use to a couple of small bites and I'm full :-)

For all the pre-ops coming up, Good Luck!!! It really isn't bad, I know I worried a lot for nothing.

July 14!!! Just a few more days!!! Pre op diet is the pitts...but I'm doing what needs to be done!!! Lots of prayers and well wishes to all the July peeps!!

You eating puree food?? I had mine July 7th. I'm on Jello and chicken broth and I never get full. I'm starving:(

I'm still on liquids, but get to have cottage cheese and yogurt. I don't feel hungry, and only a couple of small bites make me feel like I ate too much, but I'm getting used to it. Next week I get to start the puree food, looking forward to that.

I did read that if you feel hungry, you might be dehydrated and need to drink more liquids, hope that helps. I must really suck to go through this and still feel hungry :-(

I hope you are doing well, and hope to see you soon!

I'm July 13th. ???? I start a 3 day clear liquid diet on July 10th...I have no idea how I'm going to get through that! 3 weeks feels like tomorrow and forever away.

How is everyone dealing with family and friends?

Mine are sort of supportive...they do keep saying things like, "are you sure you really need it?" And loooong angry sighs whenever it comes up - I don't even bring it up! It's stressful but I pretend it doesn't bother me. I just feel like sometimes I'm all alone in this, and others are waiting to say I told you so. Frustrating.

Whatever they feel - I know this is what I need to do. And I hope they'll see the good once my weight starts to go down.

Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!!

You got to do it for you!! My friends and family are the same way. They think it is only a matter of willpower. Best of luck in your new sleeved life.

Trying to keep my sanity with this all clear first week diet. But each day Ive been greeted with healing, energy and strength to keep me positive.

Link doesn't work

My apologies. It looks like the only way to join is to send email invites, not a link.

You will need to message me your email address, the one linked to your FaceBook profile.
