So I didnt see a June thread and wanted to make one so we could all stay accountable and have a lot of good and bad experiences together!!! Introducing myself: My name is Kassandra, I am 27 years young, I have 3 great kids (9 yr old & 5yr old little boys & a 2 year old little girl), a wonderful hubby, and 3 great cats. I'm a type 2 diabetic & have sleep apnea. I decided to do this to take my life back because I do NOT want my kids to lose me so young. I'm 5 ft 2 and 258 lbs. I was 293 last summer then I started to make small changes to get ready for surgery. I had planned for the sleeve but my insurance won't cover it right now so RNY it is!!!

Guys! I was scheduled for June 24th and just got pushed back all the way to July 17th! I feel so disappointed but I am trying to make the best of it! Just feeling discouraged and can’t get out of this funk...

@Frustr8, Thanks for the encouragement. Somewhere in my mind, I’m also concerned that it won’t work. I really want to lose 150 to 200 pounds. So, it is helpful to know you’ve lost 100 since your surgery date. I’m sure you’ll make your goal! Keep up the great work!

Thanks, I sure will. Found out I rather like losing weight, used to kill my home scales because they were so mean to me, never seemed to recognise my efforts and give,me credit for my attempts. Once marched out to the metal dumpster, threw it at the back wall just to hear it crunch and fall apart. Mean luttlecritter, aren't I?

Hey... you’re the second person I’ve found with June 18th... me too for RNY. I’m 30, current weight is 248 & 5’1. HW: 268. I am pre-diabetic & have HBP. My doctors have all told me other than weight, I am actually really healthy & this is the best decision I couldn’t made at my age. I only need 6 days of a protein diet (shakes & clear liquids). We have to keep in touch for support! I’m really excited & READY!

I have a surgery date of June 3rd. I am 66 yo, married to a wonderful man who has been so supportive throughout this process. We have 4 grown boys, all happily married and 7 grandchildren. I have tried about every diet out there without success, so here I am!! I am excited yet nervous too. Looking forward to following along with all of your journeys as well. ??

Preston and me: Glad to see some people closer to my age. I feel like I should have done this a decade ago.

Prestonandme! I am also scheduled for tomorrow at10AM YAYYYYY!! Praying for us all!!

Good Evening Funky June Bunch,

Today I survived the all liquid diet.

But with one step forward there is always one step backwards.

I am suffering from a case of yup you guessed it!!!!! Constipation

I haven’t had it this bad in years. But it is getting better.

Well within 24 hours I will have entered the Post stage of WLS.

I got on the scale this evening and what do you know……….216!!!!!

Well I can’t wait to get tomorrow over with.

I will possibly check in the morning or even afterwards to let you all know I made it!!!

June Bunch….. We Go This!!!!!!

So excited for you! You're going to do great.

Well, I made it through the clear liquid day. Surgery is in a little over 3 hours. Then begins a totally new lifestyle. Thank You Lord Jesus. Will continue to pray for my fellow June adventurerers! ❤️❤️

Prestonandme!! ??❤️❤️

Purpledva, I hope you are as excited about this day as I am. This whole process has been very long (8 months exactly). But everybody on this team has been so supportive. I know the Lord has his hand on all of us. ???

I like that June siblings!

Jpeits52,
Yes, the journey has been long. But it will be well worth it. I am saying prayers for all my June sisters and brothers. May God bless the surgeons and their staff.
