Sorry FutreSkinnyPants; I have been sending people this way as I see them post on the forums. Not sure if any of them are the new ones, but I have seen several people post with August dates and directed them here to meet other August Sleevers.

You are doing such a great job though, Thanks again for all your hard work.

I feel like I am the only person not excited! I'm not nervous or scared really either though. I'm kinda indifferent and I feel everyone else is excited and making a huge deal about it and I'm like yeah ok hanks lol. P.s. Thanks kezar the body monitor app is great! And igot my new eat smart scale today and it came with a tape measure for measurements. Genius lol

I have myfitness pal, but I haven't been using it yet. I have actually been looking into fitbit, only cause most of my daily activities and duties are on a ranch working. So the fitbit will keep track of steps, stairs, movement etc. and it even will track my sleep cycles along with food and calories. I am not sure how much time I will have to actually do the treadmill or go to a gym, but I will be doing physical labor once I am cleared to do so of course.

I went shopping the other day to buy some of the items that is required of me to have before and after surgery. I was walking arm and arm with my husband and I was jittery and nervous. He asked me what was wrong and I told him, shopping is making all this real. It was giving me butterflies in my stomach. He just assured me everything was going to be ok. After getting back into town from shopping we went to check mail, and to my surprise I got our passports in. That was the final straw for me. That almost sent me running for the bathroom. Those butterflies were trying to get out of my stomach. Luckily I was able to gain control of my swirling mind before it sent me overboard.

The passports truly made everything real and thats when reality set in.

So now its been a few days, I have been able to relax, and face my emotions. I am sure they may be hard to control until that day comes and goes. Here I thought I was strong, and life found a way to slap me in the face and say "Wake Up Honey" again.

I'm not sure yet when my surgery date is. My Pre Op appointment is July 12, so my surgery may very well be the first week of August.

I wish my date wasnt so far away, ive been told that a 'booked surgeon is a good surgeon' so at least i can take comfort in that!

In the meantime I took a page from Slenderella's book and have started my own "Pre-Op Wean-Off"

July 3 - No diet soda/carbonated beverages

July 10 - No sugar

July 17 - No fried foods

July 24 - No white/refined grains/bread/carbs

July 31 - No caffiene (eeeeek!)

Aug 7 - Pre-op liquid diet begins

Hard to believe pre-op is only a month away!!

      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.
