What's up all you June misfits??? It is officially our month finally. It is also the first official day of my pre-op liquid diet, even though I started on 5/15 and as of this morning am down 11 lbs. WooHoo. Wishing a warm welcome to all of our newbies that have joined in the last couple of weeks.

I know a lot of people get nervous as their date gets closer but I am actually anxious as hell. It's like the days are going by sooooo slooowww. I am so ready to be sliced and diced.....for the second time. Just hoping and praying that it will be done right this time.

Anyway, best wishes to all getting ready for surgery this month and on the journey afterwards to a new and healthy life.

I feel the same...just can't wait to get my new stomach.

Congrats on the recent weight loss, i'm really not looking forward to the liquid diet lol but more importantly, my kids and coworkers are REALLY not looking forward to my being on the liquid diet lol.

I'm totally excited for everyone!!!

Saturday is here Funky JuneBunch,
It is June 1st…..
Day 6 of the liquid diet….Tomorrow is another milestone……..
I don’t know about anyone else but the shakes are now becoming a bit too sweet for me.
I will have graduated to the Clear Diet phase. I am so looking forward to this.
I can have coffee and broths….. I am an excellent cook/baker and I am getting excited about broths? Go figure. You don’t know how much this means to me…….
I didn’t sleep much last night. I guess I am just anxious with everything going on Monday.
When I finally got my surgery date, it STILL seemed like a million years away and now….It’s finally here.
My family and friends are staying clear of me this weekend. And I wanted it that way. The talk of getting together and going out for a bit to eat or going to the movies…………I just can’t do it right now.
I got on the scale this morning and clocked in still at 217. I am so pleased. Hopefully, with surgery they say you could potentially lose 40%? Oh Jimminy Cricket!!!!!!!!! I won’t know what to do with myself.
Anywho, JuneBunch keep the faith, if I can forgo a week a delectable cuisine, anyone can. This phase/state is just temporary. We have those lovely before and after pictures to pursue.

Hi James, found your post inspiring and funny " sliced and diced" best to think of it as re routed to be rebooted! New start .... Healthy BMI ! Yahoo.

Hello everyone! I’m beyond excited that it’s finally June! I am 40 yrs old, 5”3” tall. HW 242, SW 236, CW 217. I’m married and have 2 boys ages 7 and 10.

In the last year, I have been diagnosed with hypertension, insulin resistance, obstructive sleep apnea and GERD. I’m currently medicated for all of this including sleeping with a CPAP.

I was approved for RNY May 23rd and I’m scheduled for 5:00 am check in, 7:00 surgery on June 24th. I began the process Jan 8th this year. My instructions are to begin clear liquid diet morning of June 21st and nothing after midnight June 23rd.

I cannot wait for a fighting chance with the tool I need to change my life. I’m ready to commit to a new way to eat and live and to be healthy enough to give my family the very best version of me I can be! Here we go friends!

[Lifeafter40 89]

I am finished with my full liquid diet. Today I start my clear liquid diet however my clear liquid diet consists of Jello, sugar free popsicles, crystal light, Water, clear Liquid Protein shakes(I don’t have), decaffeinated sugar free coffee and tea. I have to be at the hospital at 5:15am and I am determined that this tool will help me to reach my goal weight. I am getting a revision from sleeve to bypass. I have craved every food in the world even the food that I will never eat. I didn’t have anything outside of my diet because with needing knee replacement in both knees I can’t play with getting this weight off and keeping it off.

[Frustr8 7,886]

And @Lifeafter40, my Bariatric Sibling, I wish for you the best of everything and the smoothest surgery ever. As I look back, I do wish.I had surgery before both my knees were replaced , but at that point not everything was in place, and honestly I thought I was hopeless, I would die obese, because I had achieved what I thought an insurmountable age. But my surgeon believed in ME, I believed in ME, I took my chances, and here I am , 9 months on Wednesday, 73 years of age, ready to travel into Onederland, having lost,Are we ready?. 116 pounds since surgery. This is the goal my surgeon and his top N.P. said I had the best chance of achieving, but I still want to try for 175, and I always have said a 15 Junior. Will I make it? I believe so, it was plotted I would achieve there at 18 months instead of the usual 12 month/1 year. I trust my next blood levels will show a correct curve, had an Iron INFUSION in March for anemia which was partially due to TPN for three months, oh it kept me alive, yes it did but the calorie level slowed my weight loss way down, the month post- removal I lost 30 pounds,Ka-thunk. So my continued weight loss was slightly deferred, right NOW at a faster rate than what logic would say. I am still A WORK IN PROGRESS, where it will all end IDK but I am commited to it all . I believe you June 2019 people may even surpass me, the sky is your limit if you stay the course! Hugs and 💕from your Frustr8!!!

Good Evening Funky June Bunch,

Today I survived the all liquid diet.< /span>

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!!!!!!

If anyone has good thoughts to spare, I could use some. I'm 9 days away from surgery and have come down with a nasty cold. Went and got a strep test just to make sure it's not anything worse. I don't want anything to get in the way of my surgery.

I’ve been fighting one for over a week. Was doing better but this morning my throat was pretty sore. I have to call in the morning to see what the surgeons office says. I don’t feel all that bad but I do have spots back there so I may need antibiotics. If this postpones me I’m going to be so annoyed.

Oh no! I hope it is nothing serious. Feel better!

To all of our amazing June family that get to go to the losers bench tomorrow, CONGRATS!!! You all can do this! Pretty soon we will all be on that losers bench together:) hugs!!

[Batty2000 177]

Heading into the home stretch on my liquid diet. Cold is on it's way out. I found this weekend to be challenging in terms of cravings. Maybe because work is more distracting.

I did have a nice non-scale victory to Celebrate. I purged my closet of some already too-big clothes. Very satisfying.

Good luck to our friends having surgery Monday and Tuesday! I look forward to joining you on Friday.
