Hi everyone, just here counting the days till July 12th, I had my pre op class last week, and I just go out of my pre op appt with my surgeon. I told him I'm open this weekend, but I guess I'll have to wait till the 12th! Lol the office actually gave me a spirometer to practice breathing and limit my chances of pneumonia, along with some wipes. He told me I need to be on an all liquid diet 24hrs before the surgery and no liquids after midnight. He also ordered a pregnancy test, 5 days before the surgery. Good luck to everyone!!

This thread is a great idea! How would you guys feel about a private July surgery Facebook group? It might make keeping track of things easier




Hi, there's a private fb group already, but anyone can actually look for it and see the actual members! I just clicked on it and was able to see the names and pics and the ppl that have joined. I'm a "secret sleeved" so I dnt necessarily feel comfortable with joining if, since other ppl can't see the post, but they can see my name and pic of the look under the member section

I'm a secret sleever too, so I have not joined the FB group. The group is set to private, but not secret. In a secret group you cannot see the members.

Is that the main group for this? Or a July specific one?
I ended up leaving that group as there were too many negative people!
I'd be down for a secret group too

I messaged the admin to see if it can be changed to secret. I'm a secret sleever too. I doubt anyone I know will be searching out sleeve groups, but it would be nice to have that extra assurance.

I think I've cried more in the last 3 weeks (usually at romantic comedies) then I have in the last 3 years combined haha. I wasn't told to stop my BC, however I take get DepoProvera. Have you emailed to see why? Is it specifically because they are pills?

Depo is fine. You can't stop that as its three monthly lol. I'm on it too. And they didn't say anything. But told me to not take my blood pressure tab the day of surgery.

      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.
