Hi all, I'm eating literally everything in my house the past few days so I'm not tempted when I start my 2 week liquids. Probably not the best idea, I know. Come tomorrow, it will be protein shakes and broth. Yum. Any one else with July surgery coming up? I'd love to chat on kik!

Day 8 of 14 of milk diet. Sleeve on the 19 of July!

Mine is the 19th too I'm very excited!

I'm really nervous because my surgery is less then 2 months before my wedding! Makes things a little stressful especially when it comes to the dress and praying nothing goes wrong health wise! Also I am not a drinker but really want to be able to enjoy a drink at the wedding!

Yes. I'm getting scheduled tomorrow for two weeks. I will also start the liquid diet tomorrow.

Is there a way to add someone as a "friend"? I would like to add all of you July sleevers so we can keep in touch. Or even on Facebook.

There's a July 2017 sleevers forum on here, which may provide the support you're looking for: https://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/1271-july-2017-sleevers/

I'm starting the liquid diet on Tuesday and not allowing myself to binge as if I'll never eat again. In fact, I've actually lost a couple pounds already (shocker!). The reason I'm not freaking out is because (a) we will eat good food again! Maybe not tomorrow, and definitely not in the same quantities, but we will eat good food again; (b) I've been on a very restricted diet in the past that lasted over a month and it makes this two week pre-op liquid diet seems easy peasy. I know what to expect (emotionally and physically) and I have better coping skills to avoid any potential pitfalls; (c) my insurance requires that I remain the same weight (or less) as my first appointment and if I gain one single pound, everything is postponed without exception; (d) binging really only hurts you, doesn't help or make you feel good in the end.

It's hard to stay calm when feelings of hunger, panic and desperation set in - so I'll remind myself this when I get there! In the meantime, I'm keeping all my scheduled appointments with my therapist.... it helps!

Good luck everybody!

Great mindset! You're setting yourself up for success. ?
