Any Seattle/Tacoma Sleevers with surgeries approaching?

I just started the pre-op diet yesterday, but it was pretty hard! I was fine until later in the day. I left my one meal until the evening so that I didn't have to go to sleep hungry, and that helped, but the temptation was real. And I really don't like Protein Drinks.

I feel completely okay this morning, though.

I am GHC, yes. I don't have the surgery time yet, but I have my pre-op phone interview scheduled for early next week with the nurse. I wonder if I'll get the time then?

I thought I would be terrified at this point about the impending surgery (I know I was the day I first met with Dr. Landers and he freaked me out about the likelihood of getting acid reflux issues with the sleeve :P) but I just feel super relieved. Looking at other people's progress pics in other threads makes me so excited at the kind of change I can expect.

Have you heard anything about changes to the postop diet? I was on the GHC bariatric Facebook group and one of the women said they now want us to do the full liquid phase for 4 weeks after surgery instead of 2 weeks. She said the NUT told her at her post op appt that they just changed it. I hope that isn't true.

I have not heard that. The plan I have is just two weeks for liquid only. 4 weeks would kinda suck, but if they think that's a better plan...

There's a GHC bariatric Facebook group?

It's GHC Second Chancers. It's a private group but they'll add you.

Thank you and congrats on your loss!

How is eating going for you? I'm always interested to hear if people have changed tastes, food aversions, or any intolerances.

Has post-op life started to feel normal?

I'm Group Health but had my surgery in Mexico on June 27. Mini bypass. Excellent experience and one fifth the cost of full pay here! Love my new life down 53 pounds in 8 weeks.

      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?
