June 1st Surgery Date!

[KDM74 186]

I have been on this journey for over a year and a half. I was set on having the sleeve but it turns out I have reflux, so I am taking my doctor's recommendation and having bypass. I was approved by Cigna last week and started my 2 week preop diet on Monday. Man, this liquid diet is tough when you still have a regular stomach! But, I suck it up and look forward to finally having my surgery on June 1st! I can't wait! I am so excited to restart my life. I have just been browsing the before and after photo threads and it is so amazing and encouraging to see everyone's progress.

^{I'm worried about just one week of liquids! My surgery is June 1st also and I start liquids on Monday, of course on a holiday and the weekend before Surgery I am taking my Girl Scout troop camping! While they are roasting marshmallows I'll be drinking liquids! This is going to be so hard!}

Good luck on your surgery! I'm so happy for you. I had my surgery on July 30, 2014 I lost 115 lbs in 10 months I went from a size 22 to a size 6. I am healthier than I have ever been in my life. My knees and back do not hurt anymore. This was the best thing I ever did for myself!. So far I had a very smooth journey. Just one hiccup, I had to have my gallbladder out in March with no complications ...thank God. I hope your journey is a smooth successful one.

My surgery date is June 2nd and I am so nervous but excited too! I've been on the liquid diet since Friday and it is so hard! I thought it would get easier but it hasn't.
