Calling all June sleevers



Recommended Posts

When my surgery was rescheduled from April 19th to June 21st (due to anemia) I thought I would absolutely never make it that long but now it is only 4 1/2 weeks away. So ready to get started on the new me. Maybe June is a good time to be sleeved. We can sit out in the sun while we recover and go for walks outside. Can you imagine how great we will look by Christmas/New Years!!!?? We should be seeing such major changes by then. I bet 2012 will be our best year ever! I am expecting good things for all of us June people!

I think that's the point! We get to discover the jewels that we can be.iknow that for me, I've been fat for so long that I don't even remember the person I have hidden under all these layers of fat. My eyes will be emeralds when I actually look people in the eye. Ruby lips when I realize people will actually notice if I wear makeup. Topaz hair that I fix. And of course an amethyst purple bra and panty set just for me. And my hubby. :)

Hi June Sleevers!!!

I just got my date - June 6th! I am nervous, scared and excited!! I was calling my friends (that know about my WLS) and so chipper, then about an hour later I was almost in tears. I was thinking of all the what ifs and complications. I have been on this journey for years and just cant believe it is here!! It is finally my turn to take a seat on the losers bench!

:cheer2:

Let's support each other!!

Hugs Heather xoxoxo

I am waiting for final insurance approval but pretty confident I'll be a Jewel of June!!:) (Thought my paperwork was submitted last week, but just yesterday got an email from the nurse navigator to 'verify' my choice of doctor and surgery type before submission. Ummm YES we went over this six months ago!) lol. It's all good...I'm really excited!

Woo woo!! Valentina -- you scored big with "Jewels of June"!!! I love it!!! I'm off this board for one day (getting an EKG & blood work from the PCP) and

this is what I've missed!

Okay -- as a "Jewel of June" I'm sticking with what I know...a deep, deep purple Amethyst! Its my birth stone & comes in a color that this 56 yr old hippie still finds very "groovy'!

Just finished Day Two of pre-op diet -- Slim Fast Low Carb RTD shakes vanilla & chocolate are drinkable...mixed with a little coffee -- not too shabby. My soon to be sleeved stomach isn't thrilled -- rumbling with gas and diarrhea. The big D is my arch nemesis -- I have it pretty often -- one of the many reasons I would never have bypass -- my intestines work too efficiently -- there are days I worry I won't ever leave the bathroom.

Okay -- I know TMI!

Does anyone know if you can take Imodium after surgery??? sad.gif

I have heard that you can take it but I would double check with your Dr just to be sure. I didn't think to ask it yesterday at my appointment!! Let us know what you find out!

BTW I am having the same issues on my pre op diet :(

Just got pretty scared after reading a post about complications this morning... Yeah so just when I thought the fear had passed, that one single post scared me pretty bad. I just need to have faith in my Doctor and stay positive :)

Jewels of June! I love it!!! YAY!! :grouphug:

Sending out my friend request for Jewels of June, if I miss you, please send me one so we stay connected!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
