I was S'd the 10th. No problems with anything physically, just missing the taste of food. Yesterday was a depressing-kinda day. I slept from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm. Tried to fit some protein fruit drinks and some Premier Protein in to makeup for my long siesta!! Joined the FB page for July Sleevers....saw too many pictures of people eating salmon; I can't even have tuna til maybe week 6!!! Chewed a couple of bites of food, then spit them out. Am I cheating already??? Felt a bit sorry for myself but I looked on my dietician sheet and knew Day 7 brought new opportunities....only I'd already started the Premier Protein. Oh well....deciding to take one day at a time, aiming for a positive attitude. Going to lunch with friends, most who don't know about the surgery--yet!! Weighed today--I am down 15 pounds!!! Thanks for allowing the vent!!!!

Hey, y'all, from Mississippi. A week ago on July 7 I went to meet my dr and sign consents. I'd been jumping through all the hoops since October and had hoped to have this done the end of May since I teach at an elementary school. Dr said it looked like August for surgery....that wouldn't work because I go back to school Aug 1 and wouldn't be able to take off. That would push surgery to Thanksgiving. Dr rearranged some things and came in and said we were looking at Thursday!!! I considered that the best birthday present EVER!!! (July 7 was my birthday) Not much time for my "food funeral" though, because I had to do Clear Liquids from Wednesday-on. Great procedure, with no pain or gas pains. Started walking as soon as I got back from recovery. Already sick of broths and really looking forward to day 7 when I can add something new!!! Thankful that I found this group

Your new stomach's birthday is just a few days before mine! I went to sign consults on July 7, which was my real birthday. Dr. said we probably couldn't do surgery til August because he was booked for the next 2 weeks, then off for the 2 weeks after that. I panicked because I go back to school 8/1!!! That would push me back to Thanksgiving!! I started all the hoop jumping in October. Dr. said let me see what I can do. He came back and said how about Thursday....July 10th is the birthday of the new me!! But (thankfully, maybe?) I didn't have time for a proper food funeral. All I could think about is all the food I didn't get to say goodbye to . Please keep me posted on things you find that are fabulous. I'm already burned out on broth!!
