Hi. My first post! I'm on for 6/15 Too. I'm so ready. Our pre-op diet is 1000 calories/day. I do a Protein Shake for bkfst, salad for lunch, yogurt or broth for dinner. After day 3 it's been good. Myfitnesspal is the key for me. I enter everything! Had my last appt last Friday, final physical, nutrition class. Good luck to everyone and THANK YOU to all who post- I really appreciate all the information, honesty, advice, etc.

I am June 16th. Day 9 of pre-op diet here. I am thankful for my pre-op diet. 30-40 carbs a day and no more than 1400 calories. Nothing but liquids after 6 pm the night before surgery and nothing after midnight that same day. I just keep reminding myself it's only temporary and I can do this.

My surgery date is June 15th as well. My preop diet consists of 1000 calories a day for 8 days prior to surgery and the last three are Clear Liquids. I am doing OK with the preop diet, not perfect of course. It's really hard! Especially working in a school and there are so many celebrations this last week before summer! But I am going to rock out the clear liquid diet! I hope!

I am feeling excited but I become a little more nevous each day. I am not nervous for the procedure but for the recovery. I just dont know how I am going to feel. My mother in law has offered to come and stay with me since my husband works and my mom is disabled. The closer it gets, the more I regret telling people. I have one friend (also over weight) who is really giving me a hard time. She is just so opinionated. If I were getting a new set of boobs I don't think anyone would have very much to say about it. People are just annoying. Just had to vent.

Good luck to everyone! Looking forward to seeing your progress!

I'm getting so nervous.... Less then two days left! I will be checking in at the hospital at six am surgery at seven.

I've told a total of four people what Im doing. I live in a very small community so I am sure there will be alot of talk. Was debating on just making a public post on Facebook.... But I think I'll just let em guess.

Good luck to the rest of you June 15th sleevers!

June 26 here. I started my pre op diet today. I'm not going to lie, I am struggling. I have two Protein Shakes, 3oz of lean meat and unlimited clear liquids. This is going to be a long two weeks but I know it'll be worth it. I would've caved in by now but i see my light at the end of the tunnel.

How is everyone feeling today? I actually feel pretty good. I'm tired but the pain isn't to bad. Sip sip sip but I want to guzzle my mouth is so dry. Every time I take a drink of Water it feels like my stomach is growling. They said I was doing good with the water so they let me have broth last night. And who else has green peee in... I know.... Gross....

Hope everyone else is doing well today!

Good morning! Congrats fellow 6/15 sleepers!

Day 2 and I feel so good! My surgery was yesterday at about 11. I started walking in the evening, then was awake at 3 and walked 10 laps (3/4 of a mile) and another 14 laps at 6:30 (a full mile!). I kept reading and hearing that walking would help with the gas, so I was determined to minimize it- So far so good! I just started on some food- they brought me Jello, tea and broth. Ok so far...taking it slow.

Thank you to all who post on here...I've picked up so much sound advice, encouragement and great info. It is so appreciated!

Here's to a new healthy, fit body!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
