Hi everyone! I have absolutely no idea how this app is used but I figured I would give it a try! Finally had my first consult with the surgeon yesterday, so I am at the beginning of the 6 month pre-surgery journey. Anyone else starting right now? Would love some new friends I can go on this journey with!

I just started my 6 months about 2 weeks ago. I have my first nut appointment at the end of February. I have Crohn's disease, colitis, and I'm also lactose intolerant. I had my gallbladder removed 10 years ago, so no worries about that. Yay! I live in Massachusetts and I'm excited for this journey and to join this community! Any suggestions for soy Protein shakes would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I just had my first class on the 27th! My binder class is June 21st with surgery roughly around the second week of July. I fly in for my stuff so now that I'm back home I'm starting to make the changes to my diet to get used to after surgery life. So far we are focusing on not drinking during meals and for 30 mins after, getting in 64 oz a day without chugging, and eating small meals 5-6 times a day that take at least 15 min to eat. I would love to have some pals to go thru all this with as I only know one other person who has had this surgery

Hello all! Another newbie here. I had my first meeting with the surgeon on Jan. 20, this week wrapped up my PCP and cardiologist clearance. Tomorrow I have my first group meeting with the dietitian and exercise physiologist, looking forward to getting everything going in that department. I have a 3-month pre-surgery program for my insurance (Cigna), so I am hoping to have surgery in late May or June!
