I’m right there with you. I start pre op diet Monday and I’m ready to go. Bring it on. UPDATE- went out for ice cream with my kids yesterday and had some pizza today. Im ready to rock and roll tomorrow morning!!

Just got call from surgeons office! My insurance has approved my surgery and I’m ready to go for June 22! Monday I start 3-4 protein shakes per day plus 1-2 cups raw vegetables. Scared but ready to get going on this! Thinking of all you June people! We got this🥹❤️

Congratulations! So glad to hear you are doing good! Waiting to hear how your sipping is going. My dr does a nerve block that he says lasts a day or so after surgery for pain.

Yes my surgeons directions are multi am and pm and chew calcium at noon. Thank you though

Glad to hear this. I am getting ready to begin pre op diet. I’m not a broth person now but I’m guessing these things change after surgery. June 22 for me.

Hey y’all! Placing some Amazon orders for my supplements and extra comfort things that I’ve read in multiple places. Here is my list for hospital and after. Let me know what y’all are bringing or using etc. Slides to walk after surgery in hosp. Loose lounge pants /tops Socks (Eye mask, toiletries, pillow, blanket , phone charger, chap stick etc) GasX Tylenol dissolve packets Xylimelts dry mouth Vibrating heat pad Belly band 4oz portion cups with lids (disposable) Vitamin B drops Fish oil liquid Flavorless Isopure powder (thicken broths) Calcium citrate chews Bariatric vitamins w/iron chewable Hylite hydration drops for water

Yes! Same. I’ve been already cutting out foods and starting to prepare myself mentally for this. I don’t think anyone can fully prepare until it’s right on you.

I just had my last dr visit. Getting cardiac clearance today bloodwork in three weeks. Dr office is applying to my ins for pre approval. I’m holding my breath. There’s no reason for them to decline it but they gave me a hassle about getting endoscopy and had to appeal three times for that. Crossing my fingers I’ll be able to keep june22 date

June 22

How are you feeling? I am new here but in the medical field. I would co tact your surgeon(?) Hope you are improved

Yay for all of us June girls! I’m June 22nd❤️
