June - July sleevers?

[alwest68 66]

So far all I have to do is clear liquid for 3 days prior. I cant have Protein Shakes in that 3 days. Just juices,water, broth, Jello and popsicles.

I am getting so anxious, y'all! I have no nerves but the anticipation is killing me. I am just so ready to get back to the normal me before I gained this weight this last year. It's frustrating but I have to remember things are going to change again and all will be well!

I am excited that I will have surgery late July or early August and I am so glad to have found this forum!

I was shocked to hear my surgeon say I needed to be on Protein Shakes for 3 weeks prior to surgery. I had always heard 1-2 weeks and some people even less. I understand the importance of doing this to help shrink the liver, but I was surprised.

Anyone else have to do 3 weeks?

Wow 3 weeks!? I have to do a low carb diet starting 2 weeks before surgery then 2 days before surgery Clear Liquids only.

Girl I feel you. The anticipation is crazy!!! I spend so much time here, looking at VSG accounts on Instagram or on Facebook in a couple WLS groups. I know your not supposed to wish time away but sometimes I really wish I could fast forward time. I have been using this time though to get prepared. Each week when I go grocery shopping I buy some chicken broth, unsweetened applesauce, Protein Shakes and other supplies so that I don't have to buy so much at once.

I had my psych evaluation Friday and received an email from the NP that my information is going to my insurance company for approval by Wednesday.

I'm terrified and excited at once.

The informational seminar I attended in December stated that I would have to do a diet beginning two weeks prior to surgery, Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch and Lean Cuisine for dinner.

My big issue right now: that little voice in the back of my mind saying "eat all of the (insert trigger foods/drinks here) you can now, while you still can!"

I've come too far already to cave into my stupid emotional cravings.

My insurance requires a 6 months of "weigh in visits" as I was told. I am scheduled for my 3rd visit and psychological evaluation on April 20th. I have to have a sleep study (that I get to do at home) and a EGD. My last visit will be in July and praying for a Aug surgery date. Lots to do in the coming months..including planning my son's wedding in October !

Hey all! I was just approved last week & I set my date for June 7th. I'm a teacher so I scheduled it for the first available date after school gets out. I'm so excited/nervous!

Saw the surgeon today to get the results of my upper GI. He said while I have reflux, there was nothing to keep him from doing the surgery, and said "It will be in 3 months"! So although I don't have a specific date yet, looks like I'm joining this club

One class left and it's May 25th!! Asked the surgeon's nurse yest for an approximate date and she said beginning of July or even August... not much help but it's getting closer ???? guess I will take it lol
