I have a tentative surgery date of June 7th with Dr. Aceves.  I am both very nervous and very excited!

 I had a major diet Pepsi addiction (3-4 a day) I gave up my beloved diet soda on the 10th of Feb. it was a very sad day, but surprisingly easier then I thought. Good Luck. Also, I felt like I was eating a lot more since I gave up soda but my husband says he has noticed that I am eating a lot less.

I think my pre-op goal would be to start walking. I live in Oregon (very rainy right now) and have 3 kids (6,2, and 8 months) so it is a challenge. But I feel like I am always using this as an excuse, so I am going to stop and get off my booty and start walking :).

I do not have an exact date yet either. Dr. says we are aiming for the first part of June. It seems so far away I'm trying to kick some bad habits now so things don't seem quite as drastic How about you guys ? I think I will post a separate thread for pre- op goals

 Hello everyone,  I work in a school as well, so I am scheduled for June 8 of this year.  I am very excited and just getting on this site for the first time today.  I know this will be an important source of support, and I was happy to find a group with similar timing.
I had to do the 6 month insurance thing, and them my company changed insurance, so it was totally unnecessary. Frustrating...Good luck to all!

Hi, I just changed my surgery to June 4. I work for a college campus and had to change my date for work purposes. I am so excited and trying to figure out what I will eat after surgery. My husband had gastric bypass a few years ago and he used the Sugar free Carnation Breakfast drink, it is really good. I know I will be drinking the strawberry and vanilla flavor the most, but right now, I am trying to get used to plain yogurt. Yuck, I added the powder crystal light(Walmart brand) into it for some flavor,  so far so good. I also tried it with honey, not so good.
