My tentative date was June 16th.... it's now been set for June 2!!! I'm really looking forward to it!

Hi Everyone, My surgery date is June 11th, any other June dates out there?

I'm a June 11 as well! And it's my birthday too! Nervous excited and most of all...ready to be born again , as it were ... Lol

[JLynn14 22]

I have not been given a date yet but they have told me I should be ready in June barring any hold ups with insurance. I am hoping that they give me my date at my next appt. at the end of this month. I am actually not sure which procedure I will be aproved for yet either (sleeve or rny).

Looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you!

I just realized I'll be on my pre op diet for my bday too! Lots of us with June bdays & now re-bdays! Time is going so slow, I cannot wait!!

Here's a question (or two) for everyone!

1. What won't you miss about being fat?

2. What can't you wait to do once you lose your weight?

I'll go first:

1. I won't miss shopping in Lane Bryant exclusively!!

2. I can't wait to be able to tuck a shirt in and be comfortable! I've never done that in my adult life!

Hmm what won't I miss?

Not fitting into seats at hockey games and movie theatres, let alone economy seating on planes.

I can't wait to buy a suit off the rack and to buy shoes with laces!... Lol

The best part is being able to actually live the fantasy of ... NORMAL ;0)

June 17th here.

I'm trying to begin weaning myself down to smaller meals in preparation to my 3 week pre-op diet. I do well during the day but evenings are when I really struggle.

I'm nervously excited about the surgery itself.

@@-_Gretchen_- I'm doing the same thing. It's rough! I've been on break this week, and I'm nervous that any good habits I've started are about to go out the window when I go back to work on Monday! FYI- I told my NUT about my weaning-plan, which includes a Protein Shake for one meal, and she said don't do more than the one because people get burnt out on them quickly and she doesn't want me hating them before I HAVE to start drinking them. On the upside, I've lost 8 pounds since I started!

June 2nd here!!!!

@@cortonball thanks for the tip on only doing one Protein Shake a day. I have to agree that I can see burnout happening. They aren't that great if you ask me! I will try only doing one and eating something lite an healthy for the other two.

Hey all,

Scheduled for June 24th, all hoops jumped through etc, now just the waiting game. I was doing really well with preop lifestyle changes, no soda, three meals with a couple Snacks, Protein first, drinking all that good stuff. Now I am about 2 months away and all of the sudden feeling a little blah about it. I can't explain it-I was SUPER excited for the longest time!! The last couple weeks I've been slipping with not recording on myfitnesspal, but the actual eating has been okay. I'm hoping that it's just a normal part of this extended waiting game. Like I've read all there is to read (which obviously I haven't), or I've seen all the before and after pics I need to solidify this decision (although I always love seeing more!); maybe this blah feeling is just my brain's way of coping with having to wait 2 more months while being SO ready to just get started already!!! Anyone else feel that....at all?

[relentless302 41]

I am sched for June 25th....and instead of eating right I have been having this feeling of eat this or that while u still can...I. have to get this under control or im going to gain soooo much weight before surgery, which I definitely don't want to do!!!!

[relentless302 41]

LIZ,

JUNE 25TH....YAY!!

[cortonball 18]

@@relentless302, I went through that already, and I was actually ready to stop. One day, the thought of more pizza or ice cream just kind of turned my stomach, so I decided to take advantage of it! I have a feeling that I'll go through it again once I get a date nailed down though! Plus, my surgeon wants me to lose weight before the surgery, or he won't do it, so that sort of scared me straight! When I'm craving something, I just keep reminding myself that this level of restriction isn't forever. The best thing my surgeon said is that when this is all done, I will be a person, not a patient. Loved it. Good luck!!

June 30 for me!
