Any july surgery dates?



Recommended Posts

Hi There :) Because my insurance requires 6 months of classes before surgery, I'm expecting to be sleeved sometime in July as well! Tomorrow is my second of the six classes. I'm so excited! I'm doing my best to use this time to prepare and start making the changes that will be part of my new life. I've cut out soda, bring my Breakfast and lunch to work (it helps that I work at the same hospital as my surgeon, and every time I'd run into him in the cafe I felt guilty and knew i wasn't putting in the work I need to, lol). I've cut back on my coffee, and will be transitioning to Decaf next. I've lost a few pounds just making these changes, which makes me feel great. I'm committed to the life I want to have after surgery! Have you ever watched "My 600 Lb Life" on TLC, I think it is?? Some are success stores, but some are really eye opening to how serious the docs are about surgery being a tool. The people who weren't prepared to really put in the work and make changes are not successful. Some have even managed to GAIN weight after surgery! I do not want to be that person! Anyway, happy to see another July sleever on here! I'm sure there are many more of us, and hopefully we can all support each other. :)

Yes I am starting month two of my 6 month physician supervised program. I lost 5 lbs in the first month so I feel good! I cut out soda the first of January. I don't do coffee but I do drink tea. Going to start using a sugar substitute. My surgeon is the best!! I meet with the dietician on Monday. So excited to hear her suggestions and insight. Have started doing research into foods and things for right after surgery. Got a few samples from Bariatric Choice.

I'm lurking on both the June and July boards. I will finish my nutritional counseling late June. So my surgery date will probably be in July. I go for my second visit on Thursday. Now I just need to find a doc.

Without 3,4,5 or more incisions ....only one in your belly button.

      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.
