Calling all June '16 sleevers!



Recommended Posts

My approval came in today and I am scheduled for June 21st with pre-op diet starting almost three weeks before. Apparently, when you're near 50 BMI, my surgeon likes to have an extended pre-op. Yay!

I feel like I should be nervous about having such a major surgery, but I guess it doesn't quite feel real yet.

My date is June 21st too!! I start my pre-op liquid diet next Tuesday, the 7th.

Yay, Junesleevers!

I got my date today: June 22, even sooner than I hoped. (My first appt was only May 18.). And my surgeon said I don't have to do ANY liver diet, because I've been eating high Protein (and losing weight) so she says my "liver has shrunk enough." Hallelujah!

I started my three week pre-op diet today, which consists of 2 Protein Shakes and then for dinner I can have 4-6 oz of some sort of meat, 1/2 cup of starch, and unlimited greens. Very hungry right now and I've got another 20 days to go. Yikes!

My preop testing is blood work, chest X-ray and EKG. I go tomorrow for that. I also have to pre-register at the hospital. Surgery is June 9.

Yes. My doctor didn't require it.

Instead of endoscopy... I'm having an upper GI X-ray series with contrast ...

I all had that, plus a pulmomary clearance and a Upper GI. I'm really impressed with all the testing and technology involved in this pre-op stage. The Upper GI was really cool and I have the monitors in from of me so I was able to see all "my insides" while I was drinking the contrast

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
