July 17 in Michigan for me. Am working out my pre-op food plan now which starts July 7. It's a lot of work, but that's OK. Each stage will be different, so I think I'll be working one stage and planning the next stage. Lot's to learn, and the anticipation keeps building. Bundle of nerves and excitment. Getting off caffeine was...well, I feel like a sloth lately, so so tired.

I just had my surgery today. And let me tell you the pain hasn’t gone away from the gas but I did great in the surgery..hope it goes away soon. If y’all have questions feel free to ask

So glad the surgery went well. Other than the gas pain how are you feeling? How long did your surgery take? Hope you’re doing ok!

Hi, Mine is July 16th, I'm not nervous. I had surgery before. I take the Lord in with me. I just started the liquids diet that's where the hard part for me, I can do it but I have to cook for my husband. Now that can be hard. "Lord Help me"

July 16th too.... I’m more anxious & excited than nervous too!!

Hello everyone... I'm scheduled for RnY on July 16th... I'm absolutely hating the pre-op liquid diet... And the closer the date gets the more nervous and worried I'm becoming... Not as excited and happy as I thought I would be 😞

Glad everything went well with your surgery. I found the gas pain was bothersome. Learned morphine isn't my frliend, made me really sick, so got oxycodoe. I'm home now. Just dealing with gas pains and getting up or sitting down, and finding a comfortable place/positron to sleep. The recliner is my friend, but really want my bed.

I’m July 17th. No nerves, just excitement! I can’t wait to start the rest of my life healthier and smaller. Now, the pre-op diet is kicking my butt. But, I’m trying everyday.

      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.
