I will say that this whole experience is as much, if not even more, of a mental/emotional thing rather than physical. You have to be in the right mindset and emotionally ready for this.

This is definitely how I am going about it. I'm psyched!

My surgery date was 7/3 with Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Tijuana. So I am 6 days out and am going back to work tomorrow, working a desk job. Today I am able to drink more than just 1/2 cup of liquid an hour, I'm almost to a cup an hour. Swallowing is easier today. I missed the instruction to alternate each hour a cup of Clear Liquids and a cup of full liquids! Now that I'm doing that, I feel almost normal! Alternating Premier Protein shakes with Decaf iced tea and watered down apple juice. Weird, I've never liked ice in my drinks before and now I want it. Good luck to everyone still to come this July!

July 7th checking in. So far so good. I'm able to drink about2 ounces at a time but immediately I feel the urge to burp. I'm using the Premier Protein shakes. I have had an occasional sugar free popsicle. I've walked quite a bit today. Haven't taken anything for pain since 8 am. I know I need more liquids and haven't been able to stomach the idea of taking any Vitamins but I am feeling better. My family has commented that I seem very mellow. I think it's choosing to be cautious. BTW I am in Georgia and had my surgery with Dr Hart at Atlanta Bariatrics.

Im new here [emoji137]🏻I just got my surgery date this week! July 31, 2017[emoji3] Excited and anxious all at the same time.
I am requesting 6 weeks off of work, will see if I get that approved surgeon says 2-6 weeks. I am hoping to take as much time as I can as my job restrictions will make it difficult to eat/drink as needed.

I'm July 31st too!![emoji3]

Ahh! My date is Tuesday the 25th. I swore they told me the 24th. Anyway, started my Optifast shakes today. I can also have sugar-free Jello. It's not terrible, but I had to remind my self not to try my daughter's food that I was made tonight. I actually chewed a soy bean to make sure it was cooked and then spit it out. Haha!
I made a friend at pre-op class today who is similar weight and same surgery date.

Okay so it's come to my attention that I'm not sure how to edit this post more than once, can anybody help me out with this? I'd really appreciate the help [emoji4] Or am I just going crazy?

I think support from the other people going through this is important, and I want everyone to be able to connect with the people who might be going through this at the same time if you want. So this isn't meant to be more than informative in case you want to message or follow people having surgery in July. If I've made any mistakes I apologize, just message me and I can edit the list [emoji4] There are certainly noticeably busy days! If you'd like to be added msg me, again sorry if I got an incorrect date, I just wanted to try and help because there are a lot of threads about July, and it's fast approaching. Good luck and speedy recovery everyone :780_sparkling_heart:

      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.
