June 2019 Surgery Siblings!

[BulletWithButterflyWings 422]

So yesterday was day 4 of my liquid diet and I took a tiny nibble of my daughters bbq chicken. I will not make that mistake again. I had so much gas and upset stomach just from that tiny bite that it will forever remind me of how God awful it is to not stick to the plan. Today is day 5 and just bought me some Powerade zero and had my Breakfast of my chocolate Protein Shake.

That’s what I’m most looking forward to. Taking my kid on some rides at the amusement park. I won’t try right now bc I don’t want to be told I don’t fit and feel ashamed.

I totally get that! Im always so embarrassed of getting on rides.

Well as of tomorrow I will officially be 1 week pre-op. Will have pre-op labs a surgeon visit Tuesday. Getting nervous and excited. liquid diet going well. Just crave foods, but I’m staying strong.

I'm having the bypass done. My insurance isnt covering the sleeve at this time and I hate lap bands so RNY it is. I'm not going to complain though because honestly with all the info and support you find on here, I feel better prepared. I was dead set on the sleeve but I'm actually happy with RNY now too. Your plan sounds like a great idea. you will get to focus on healing.

Your insurance is Kaiser Permanente? Right?

Starting my liquid diet at the  end of the week! How is everyone doing with their pre-op stuff?

Hi lovelies! Sorry I've been absent - I've had a lot to do to get things ready! But my day is almost here... my RNY is tomorrow at 1pm. Making the switch over to Clear Liquids only soon... this is starting to feel so very real now. But I feel ready for it. And I'm extremely grateful that my clinic has prepared me so well for this day!

I have still been reading everyone's journeys on here in my absence - I hope those of you who are struggling post-op have a speedy recovery! We've all got this! 🤗 Go June Bunch, go!

And may you find it to be everything you've dreamed of! Update is when everything is completed, we've missed your Sunny Smile!😛

Hope everyone is doing well!

I just got back from my pre-op anesthesia appointment. I had an EKG, met with the anesthesiologist, a nurse and had blood drawn. I go back one week from today on the 17th - arrive at 6:30am for 7:30am surgery! The anesthesiologist said my surgeon is his favorite and "the best". 😄

I can eat normally right up until noon on Sunday. After that it is clear liquids until midnight, then nothing after that. It's so interesting to me how every program is different!

I had revision from lapband to ds on June 7... 2 nights in the hospital and I’m home and I’ve even worked from home nearly all day today. This is way harder than lapband or csection ( I had 2 of those ) I had 2 week pre op diet, week 1 was 2 shakes 2 Snacks and a lean green dinner week 2 was all shakes and I was down 13lb when I went in for surgery. I’m so puffed up now from IV fluids the scale showed back up 10lb so I’m staying away from that thing a few days.
