June 16th... Oh my...

What a great site!  I am thrilled to be joining you all and have a date of June 16th for surgery.  Liquids start tommorow.... I am still so nervous but know it is a great idea.  My sister lost over 130 pounds and I am ready to get thin and healthy too!  Here we go.  Anyone else have a date of the 16th?

Hello My date is June 16th as well. I started my liquids today. Good Luck

 I started the liquid diet today too!  Did not miss breakfast but really craving some lunch.  Do you get any ice cream?  I do because I take diabetic medications.... Thanks for adding me!

My sleeve surgery is also June 16th!  Good Luck.  we'll have to touch base afterwards since we are both in FL!!

Mine is June 16th....but all my paper work says just a low carb diet until 24 hours and then start the liquid diet....any ideas why mine is so different?

Mine is low-carb until 2 days before, but I started liquids last week so my liver would shrink enough or my surgeon won't do it!  I'm having the Gastric sleeve!
Keep in touch!

 You are so lucky!  They say to shrink the liver to make the surgery easier... but  I think it is to jump start new behaviors.  It could not be medically neccssary if others don't have to do it.  My sister lost 20 pounds in the 2 weeks before on the liquid diet.  That will be nice.. but wow what a high price I am paying!  Keep in touch and good luck!!!

Hey folks - I'm June 16th also!  Dr. A's paperwork said to start hi protein, low carb diet 1 week pre-op but I'm trying to start phasing it in now.  I'm eating my way thru my freezer which I've always kept stocked with lots of meats.  Since I hear I may not enjoy red meat as much post-op, I'm hitting my grill every night between now and then...

Hi All,

I had VSG on 6/14. Hope all of you are feeling better. It does get better by the day. I had buyers remorse for about 36 hours. I can see my face changing already. LMK how you all are doing. I would love to hear from you all. This site is so much better than any support group I've been to in person.

Best of luck
Renee

Hey how are all you June-ies doing?  Everyone recovering well who had surgery already or those stragglers at the end of the month ready and calm?  I am doing great.  No restriction but having my first fill at 3 weeks on the 7th.  I am loosing about half a pound a day for a total of 8 inches and 21 pounds.  Anyone have any great recipe for mushies?  I am getting ready to be real tired of mashed potatoes... I try to throw in cheese or low fat sour cream or garlic to mix it up.  I do not feel like I had anything done and able to swallow a hand full of pills no problem.  

Had you all on my mind and wanted to check in God speed to everyone at whatever phase you are at!
