July Sleevers!!!

[Newsgirl361 0]

Just found out today mine is July 10th! In my directions binder, I only have a 2 day prior liquid diet. I'm curious as to why everyone else's seems to be longer?

It depends on your starting weight.

I've been buying and stocking up on Unjury unflavored and chicken broth flavored powders and Premier shakes in all flavors. Also different variety of broths, sugar free jellos and Popsicle. Just want to have everything and different options since I heard some flavors and brands may be hard to tolerate after. I haven't' bought any Vitamins yet. Have my pre-op upper GI, labs and class on the 12th of this month. Want to talk to them more about the best of the best. My body deserves the best and want to make sure I choose right. Was thinking about BariMelts brands- whats y'alls preferred brands?

I did get myself this adorable portion Yum box. Perfect once I'm in the Puree and on stages. I'm worth it!

When do you start pre-op diet. I was told to pick mine up on the six. That's the day before my ten year anniversary . I am hoping they will let me start on the 8th

I start on 7/5

Ive bought a water bottle, Protein Powder, sugar free Jello, pjs, slippers, veggie broth and that's really it. I buy a pack or two of Protein Shakes on every payday to stock up a little bit.
Oh, I also bought those colorful popsicle things^. I think a lot of the other stuff, I'll pick up afterwards. The Vitamins I bought didn't have enough zinc for my nutritionist's taste, so I have to finish them and buy new ones.

A lot of my stuff I ordered from Wal-Mart and had it delivered. I hate going in the store unless I have too.

Hey guys! My surgery date is July 7th. I just finished the last of my clearance items, but the only thing that's nerve wracking to me is I'm still waiting on insurance approval. They don't even submit to insurance until about 1 month before, which I think is pretty crazy. I'm terrified something is going to happen and I'm going to get denied, because I've already gotten everything ready through work to take off (which was a huge hassle and they weren't happy about it), and I've gathered a whole bunch of supplies! Everyone at the surgeon's office keeps telling me not to worry and that my insurance usually isn't a problem for it, but I'm just nervous because I'm still at the lower end of the weight spectrum for it (weight 228, 5' 4.5", BMI 38ish, high blood pressure). I hope it will all be okay, but I'm not going to relax until I hear the official okay. Did anyone else's surgeon do it this way?--not submitting until about a month before and after all the clearance stuff was done??

I first saw my Dr at the end of March and 3 weeks later I was approved. I'm a cancer patient in remission so I've been very active in Drs appts because of related issues. My surgeon is sought after her in SC so I have to wait until 7/19. I wasn't told I needed to lose weight but I know in my heart that I have to lose weight so why not start now. I will have a 2 week liquid diet aka liver reduction prior to surgery so I will lose more.

Start stalking up on stuff that will see you through. Also, if you're on FB, do yourself a huge favor and join the bariatric groups. They offer so much inspiration, recipes, the dos and donts and make friends with others like us that knows your journey ahead. Wait until you see the before and after pics!!!! I love these groups!!!

Im going July 31st, I hear alot of you guys talk about the diet before hand! I never knew I even had to do one can anyone fill me in on that?

Yo only need a pre-op diet if the doctor orders it. It is to shrink your liver so your surgery can be performed. I don't have a pre-op diet. And I'm also July 31!! Where is your surgery?

[qy22 30]

I'm just 31st also.
