I will be Late June or sometime in July. I'm from Wilmington, Delaware. The bonus about having a summer surgery is that I'll be able to get out and walk while the weather is nice.

That's great! Here it gets to about 110 degrees and miserable in the summer. But swimming is nice. I wonder how soon after surgery we can swim. I can walk in the mall maybe lol

Hello there,

I have just recently signed up to this site. I love reading the topics until finally I have decided to register to this discussion group. So glad to have found it!

My surgery date is 1st of July 2014.

I'm feeling a bit nervous and excited at this stage.

I'm from Sydney, NSW.

Yay another July sleever! I don't feel all alone anymore and somehow it feels like it's a lot closer to surgery time now that people are starting to say they are in July too!

Any preparations you all have been doing so far? I just kept thinking that my surgery will be in a few months time but I haven't been really doing anything yet in preparation for the surgery. Any special diet that you have already started? Exercise? I haven't started anything yet and I'm just too scared I may not be able to comply with the required diet 2 weeks pre-op. Yikes!

I don't have an exact date yet but my 6 months will be up in July! They say final approval from insurance takes no longer than 2 wks from the last visit then surgery is scheduled. I've been drinking tons of Water. Cut out coffee. Quit smoking last October. But my bmi is right on 40 so I can't really diet too much. After I get the final approval and surgery date I plan on dieting for those two weeks. Like drinking Protein drinks and eating lean meats. They said I was too small for a pre op diet but I want to kind of be used to small meals and drinking a lot. Until then im trying to make better choices when there's an option.

July 9th is my date... NY here!!!

Yayyyy. I won't have a date for a little while yet. Congrats!

My date is July 9th and time is crawling by. I cancelled my April 21st but that crept up so quick bc I had tests to go for and dr appts left and right. The waiting is killing me and makes me want to eat!

I have my medical clearance appointment on June 20th. When I meet with the surgeon, then I'll receive a surgery date. I'm so nervous and excited all at the same time. The pre-op requirement stuff went by so fast.

Hello everyone! I'm from Sydney. My surgery date is on the 1st of July. I will be having my 2nd appointment on Monday, 16th of June. Haven't actually started eating healthy. I'm a bit nervous that I may not be able to do the pre-op diet but I gotta be positive that I can do it.

      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.
