You have to be in the right mindset and emotionally ready for this. This is definitely how I am going about it.

HollyinWA 3 Posted July 9, 2017 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!Sent from my SM-N910V using BariatricPal mobile app 2 sacsa97 and GotProlactinoma reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southerncharmgal 14 Posted July 9, 2017 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. 2 GotProlactinoma and sacsa97 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qy22 30 Posted July 10, 2017 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.

LifesJourney 14 Posted July 11, 2017 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. 1 Half-Tum reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COgirl 2 Posted July 16, 2017 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.
