Hi! My name is Tiffany. I am a 50 year old mom of 3 adult kids. I had the lap band from 2005-2012. Never lost weight. Followed the program to the letter. My doc used to guilt me and tell me I was his only “failure”. He didn’t even offer me the choice of revision when I had the band removed. Unfortunately I’ve been misinformed for the past 7 years. People told me I couldn’t have another bariatric surgery after failing one. My PCP moved and I mentioned it to my new doc and she told me I could indeed have another bariatric surgery. I’m an oncology RN that has been disabled since 2012. All of my visits are done, I’m waiting for the surgeons office to call with a date, but he thinks the end of June. Not, by the way the same surgeon!!

Tiffany,

Welcome to the June Bunch. You are in the company of some awesome folks (myself included🤣🤣). OK, I might be bias. Let's hope they call you... and soon.

Thank you for the support. I know this is just my DR looking our for me. But this waiting is awful. Hopefully I will have good news Wednesday. I hope all your journeys are going smoothly.

3-4 whey Protein Shakes per day, mixed with Water.

They recommended Premier but I am open to any suggestions from my "new" family here.

(Per scoop) Protein: 20-30 grams

Fat: 5 grams or less

Sugar: 5 grams or less

Day Before Surgery:

Clear liquid Diet:

• Low Sodium chicken broth
• Decaf Tea or coffee (no cream or lemon)...... Pray for me, I LOVE International Delights chocolate Caramel 😮

Subsonic,

Looks like we have the same surgery date. When will you be starting your diet? 2 weeks out or 1 week out?

Hi Purpledva and Subsonic! Glad to see some fellow June 3rd surgery people. I start my two week pre op diet the 21st.

Glad to see some new June people! Welcome!

Question - does anyone else have to give up coffee for a bit? On my plan I'm not allowed to have coffee for three months post-op. 😭😭 In addition to the caffeine my nutritionist said that it is also the acidity they are concerned with. I'm now drinking half-caff in the morning to prepare for no caffeine but this is going to be tough! I like the taste of coffee and it is my morning routine! Herbal teas, which she said were ok, are just not going to cut it! LOL

I had to give up caffeine altogether (among other things). I haven't inquired whether Decaf is ok post-op, but I'm guessing I'll wait a while regardless due to the acidity... don't want to disrupt my pouch... *pout* My team said the big concern in general with caffeine is dehydration post-op, since it's hard to get in your fluids each day and yeah, that checks out. Pre-op I've allowed myself the occasional decaf, but as a caffeine addict, it was really hard to switch... I've adjusted, but I still miss it!

Ugh is anyone else going off the rails a little?! I've been eating foods that are so shitty for me after doing amazing on my diet for the last 6 months. I'm supposed to start my 2 week liquid diet on June 5th BUT I'm going to do a 3 or 4 week liquid or low carb diet to get back on track. I plan on starting that this coming Sunday.
