My doctor is so opposite he is not very friendly. Or just say not a people person. Did go over anything with me about the surgery I had to ask all the questions was not volunteered. It’s yo Kate to switch surgeons. I know a lot of women that had him. He is highly recommended but that’s the only thing they say he not a people person. And I love to talk. So I’m excited about my surgery also. I know it’s going to be work but I’m excited to see my body go through the different stages while losing the weight

Hello, yall

Found out today I am also a July sleever. Scheduled for July 24th. My surgeons only concern was my anxiety. Understanding I am on a military base and they can see all your records and meds going back years. So he wrote me a script to take daily. And I will do so. I love love my surgeon. He gives out his cell number and actually answers. Hahaha. I am beyond excited. The count down is on. And no preop diet. Looking for a surgery buddy!!!!

You can change surgeons but make sure you dont have to redo your program or all the things you have completed. I got lucky with my surgeon. I am a military spouse and having this done on a military base. I had no choice in surgeon. He is just a great man. He is big on hugs too. Take care of you.

Welcome @jamjar Gem, like your pen name, reminds me if a guilty child with a spoon in Mum's preserves. I am from Central Ohio a future RnY, getting closer to surgery but no definate date in July assigned yet. So I could be a surgery,twin to almost anybody else on here. I suspect mid to last July, I have 1 small thing to finish, once the results are faxed in 2nd July it will be full speed ahead!🚤

Thanks! It's a childhood nickname, in fact nothing to do with preserves! :360_strawberry: I hope you get your date confirmed soon. Have you had previous bariatric surgery? I have a band, so I'm having that whipped out at the same time (at least 'm hoping both can be done at the same time!)

And I grow more and more interested . Where in BC my mostest province with memories.? I spent the Bicentennial of Confederation visiting Vancouver,Campbell River and Quadra Island .
My little ears perked up when I heard you were or are there. Where will you have your surgery ? Are you,private pay or going through National/ Provincial Health Schemes? We once had LesleyBari who lived in the Rockies close to Alberta nut was flying to Vancouver for her surgery. Many have wished to visit the Yukon for its wild country,Me, my dream is to someday see the Peace River country for,myself.That was my romantic dream as a teenager and it still lurks in the back of my mind.

Had my last visit with nutritionist. Start Pre Op diet Monday. 3 shakes a day, 1 serving of vegetable, fruit and starch a day (on their list). Also all the pre op doctors appointments. Have a lot planned the next couple weeks, so hope that helps with this diet.

      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.
