Topic: RE: Any other July Buddies out there?
Hello, I'm Bernice.
I am having the RNY on July 5th. My surgery was moved up a week from the 12th so I had to do some fancy footwork to get everything ready here at home. Tonight was my last meal before starting clear liquids tomorrow.
My paperwork was in over a year ago - I have had plenty of time to mentally prepare. I am excited and as prepared as I can be for the lifestyle changes to be faced. This forum has been extremely helpful.
Good Luck to all July 2011 WLS Buddies! And here's to seeing less of each other very, very soon!!!!!!

yea that seems like a lot of food when they tell you what you have to eat - can't wrap my mind around how little you actually eat and how many times you eat lol

Re: the broth I will have to try that! I've been doing two protein shakes for breakfast and snacking in the afternoon then do dinner. My snacking in the evening should consist of a yogurt or another protein shake though. I know today I'm going to have to make some changes in what I'm doing so I can get use to eating differently after the surgery.
I know the nurse told us (new patients) that we should be doing breakfast (oatmeal, yogurt, cream of wheat...) then for snack a protein shake or pudding made of the HMR powder, then lunch (jello, chicken or beef broth...)another shake for snack, then dinner (broth....not quite sure what else) then a shake for the last snack. This all after the surgery....I would think it would be a waste of food because we will only be able to hold so little.

Hello I am looking for people who live in the Warren and Center Line area who are preparing for weight loss surgery or had the surgery. Possibly you are having it at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital on E. 10 Mile in Center Line or you had it there. I am preparing for surgery and even though I don't have my exact date as of yet I would like to keep in touch with others that are like me or was like me. Serious replies only please, maybe this summer we could form a walking group and just support each other through our journey of getting healthy.
Please contact me via email, if you are seriously interested in forming this group.
Thanks!

I started a week ago or so by replacing my breakfast & lunch with a protein shake and then for my 2 snacks in between breakfast/Lunch and Lunch/Dinner I have greek yogurt. I have had to get use to so little to eat but I am hoping that afterwards I won't feel so starved after a day of just having liquids. For Broth you know you could add some veggies and boil the broth just strain out the food before eating :) maybe it will taste better.

I am scheduled for Gastric Bypass in two weeks...July 13. Been waiting on this for a long time. Thankfully I will have three weeks before I have to go back to work at school. The liquid diet is rough, but I can see the light at the end of this tunnel.
Good luck to everyone in the July club!!
