My 19th birthday is July 2nd. Surgery is July 8th.

This liquid diet is harder then I thought especially when I go out with the family.. I just keep telling myself next summer will be better.

Ok I have a weird?... Lol I am on 4th day of pre-op diet, and I gained 3lbs and having trouble with my bm's.. Got desperate and took softener/stimulant and bam relief & 3lbs gone.. Will I need to take Miralax powder every day? I know it might come in handy post-op. Is this common during pre-op?

Awesome! I'll be more than happy to share! We're getting close!!! I'm super excited!

I know, I am super excited and nervous a bit. I can't wait though. I really want to be slim again.

Hi- i am scheduled for July 29 in Plano, Texas by Dr. Cribbins. I don't have a pre-op liquid diet - just low fat/no fat/no meat diet. I have been learning so much from reading the posts. Thanks for sharing!

You are close to me literally! lol I live in Desoto, I am getting sleeved on July 29th as well, but I will be at Baylor Downtown. My surgeon is Dr. Kuhn. I would also like to keep up with your progress as well especially since we will be sleeved on the same day if you are ok with that?

Hello There, I will have mine on July 8. I am kind of nervous. Any others in July?

[tonid2328 24]

Ok, somebody please tell me that I am not the only one experiencing this craving for all of my favorite foods, and savoring each morsel like it is the last time I will ever eat it again! Example: in a span of 2 weeks I have purchased or cooked, cakes, burgers, pizza, hot links, tamales, tea cakes, fried foods from every area, and alchololic beverages that I know that I don't really need or want! My husband and children have been in hog heaven, but I think I am having a food meltdown! my Surgery is on the 29th and I have not even begun to do the liquid diet. I hate to admit this, but I ate a whole thin crust pepperoni/pineapple medium pizza the other day with the kids,(I paid for it that night while trying to sleep), but I ate it with an emotion like if I was about to say goodbye to a dying relative! That can't be a good sign!

I did the same thing for few weeks, now I just want veggies and salad since I won't have them for a bit.

Seems like there are quite a few of us in July! I am super nervous but just keep thinking of this time next year!

Holy guacamole! That's incredibly spendy. What brand of Vitamins are you taking? Is it based on your surgeon's/NUT's recommendation that you get that particular brand?

I'm using good ol' Flintstones Complete chewables--actually' date=' the CVS store brand of Flintstones. Even when I combine that cost with my Calcium, which is by Celebrate so it's a little more expensive and my B[sub']12[/sub]sublinguals, it seems like you are really paying a LOT! Here's how it breaks down for me:

CVS Multivitamin + Iron chewables: 12.99 for 150 (one per day)

Celebrate Calcium Plus 500 chewables: 20 for 90 (three per day)

B₁₂sublingual 2500mcg: 10 for 50 (one per day)

That works out to spending about 2.60 per month on Multivitamins, plus 20/month for calcium, and 6/month for B₁₂ --even with another 40 for Protein Powder per month, I'm coming in waaaay under three hunnerd dollars. If I factor in 20 for protein-enriched almond milk, I'm still under 100 per month. That 350 price really does sound like a racket!

I look for the sales. CVS has a sale it seems once a month, then to have coupons yippy, extra savings. I buy on line also. I'm a bargin hunter.
