After reading the boards for a while, I know I'm one of the heavyweight sleevers to be. I need to lose about 200 lbs.

Any other July peeps in the same boat?

Hey everyone :) I am a new member as of today! yay! My surgery date is July 30th and I am soooo excited! It has been a long road so I am ready. Pretty much had to jump through hoops to get here! I am super nervous about surgery, anyone else had a tough time deciding between RNY and sleeve?

July 11th here for my surgery. I'm getting excited by the minute. I am so thankful to have found other July people as well. Ive had a little set back physically. I tore the ligaments in my ankle. So I m not able to exercise right now. I actually will find out this morning if I need surgery. My positive side says nope, no time. :-) I've scheduled my pre-op testing and need to start the Atkins diet two weeks prior to surgery date. I feel blessed to have supportive people in my corner. Thinking of you all.

Yeah it's getting super close. scale was stuck at 657 for 4 days the yesterday dropped to 652. 15 total lost on preop since day after memorial day.

One day at a time. I'm trying to stay off the scale and watch how my clothes fit. Scale stresses me out sometimes. Plus I have this boot on my ankle which weighs about 5 pounds.

I'm there with you. I'm really wanting to lose about 190 or so. I have to admit though, I cant even remember being 200 pounds less than I am now. I know I was at one point cause I had to pass it to get here. I'm going to judge how I'm doing as I go and see where I am happy. If I'm happy when I get to 150 then I'll stop there but I'd love to be able to say I'm less than half the woman I once was!

Hi Everyone! Thought I was going to be a June sleever but circumstances seem to be pushing it toward July. I go back to my doc on the 19th for follow up from the EGD. He said everything looked good after the procedure so I am guessing I will be pushed to the first week of July for surgery. Sure was hoping for June but no matter what its going to happen! :D

      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.
