June 6th too! Scared more about after ward & doing this right! I’m diabetic & have neuropathy in my feet so the way I look at this is I’d rather have 1/2 of my stomach removed & have a chance at really losing some weight that to wait, thinking I can diet without surgery on my own & end up having toes amputated!
I’m June 4th but, also diabetic and have neuropathy in my feet. I’m with you, I’m absolutely having thus gastric sleeve surgery to save my life!

June 4th is only two days away..yikes!! Good luck to everyone - I know there’s a bunch of us having the same date. “May the 4th be with you!” (Sorry I couldn’t resist)


May the Fourth be with you, too!!! I’m on all Clear Liquids tomorrow and now that I’m HOURS away from surgery the anxiety is kicking in. I’ll be so glad to be on the other side with all of you!

I’m so excited for tomorrow!! One more sleep and then I’ll be on the other side. Im nervous and having doubts/concerns, but thanks to this forum I know that’s normal. This group has been a font of knowledge and support. I’m looking forward to us continuing to support each other as we all walk (and maybe jog one day) to all of our goals.

I just went through surgery yesterday at 11am! Had a bit of nausea and the pain feels like a non stop stomach cramp. But the pain went away last night and now its 8:30am and I'm feeling much better. I got up to walk several times and took a body shower and just got done doing the swallow test so they are about to give me juice Water and a popsicle.:P I do have a drain which will be removed tomorrow but I'm just so happy it's already done with! :D

New here...my surgery is June 12th. I’m getting super nervous /excited. So one thing I’m worried about is that I haven’t been given any information on a pre op diet. I was basically told to just eat light a week prior to surgery. Hmmm, any advice

I’m on the other side!! Surgery went well. I’m feeling no nausea so that’s a huge plus. I’m still on pain meds so it’s all hugs & puppies for now.

im allowed to have ice chips so that’s helping with the thirst. So far so good

how are the other 4 June peeps feeling?

      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.
