Actually I quit smoking 3 months 2 days and 1 hr ago to be exact! Lol I have an app on my phone that helped me quit and keeps track of how long I'm smoke free! I had to decide that I wanted this surgery and to totally live a healthy life more than I wanted that little green and white box of demons! (Newports) Lol I totally understand your struggle because I smoked since the age of 15. 25 yrs of smoking and I quit cold turkey so I know if I can do it you can girl! I'm your buddy now lol! I have my pre-op in May 6th.....after I already started my pre-op diet. Where are you from?

Hi 40thBirthdaypresent! I am having my surgery on May 16th maybe we can be buddies! I start my pre-op diet on May 2, what about you? I sure could use some motivation during lol. Let me know if you interested!

Hi all! I too am scheduled for May surgery! My surgery date is May 16, 2014!!!! Finally, I am sooooo excited!

Can you email me a copy if the list too! niasia33@gmail.com Thank you so much!!!

Not really.....I am at peace with my decision to have the surgery. I am nervous about the liquid diet though! Lol 2 wks ughhhh! Lol I'm also trying a lot is different shakes. I like the Syntax nectar Protein bcuz they have sweet and fruit flavors and also unflavored protein. Pre-op diet it will be Boost and Atkins shakes for me. What is your pre-op diet like and how long is yours ?

I am still pre-op. My surgery date is 5/16/14!!!! I'm so excited! Well congrats on getting your surgery date, that is wonderful! Thank you about the smoking it was hard but my sister told me to remember "no cigarette tastes as good as healthy and thin feels!" So I keep that close to me when I have a craving to smoke or I want to eat something I'm not supposed to!! Good luck to you!

Hi wickedbeauty! Nice to meet you. I pray that you get your date soon so that you too can start you new life. How are you holding up? This has been a 9 month process for me which was partly my fault as I had to quit smoking. Thank God for miracles....as I have been smoke free for almost 5 months after 25 yrs of smoking. Where are you from?

Hi cutiepieinchi! I'm from Chesapeake. Are you in VA also? I hate that some people are not supportive and someone always know someone who had gastric bypass surgery and.........we'll you know the rest! I only want positive vibes on this journey with me. I wish you the best of luck with your journey too. Thank heaven for this forum!!

Hi Shaunsay! Very nice to meet you. Good luck on your surgery, you and Alison are ON DECK!!!! Lol I'm happy for you both and just hang in there with your diets, we are here for you both!

Same here Kimberly! I'm a just ready to get this new life going lol! I have to do a 2 wk pre-op diet starting on 5-2-14 which consists of 5 protein drinks only and I substitute 1 shake for unjury chicken broth or strawberry sorbet unjury shake. I will be so glad to start it so I can be finished already lol. What is everyone's pre-op diet like?

Thank you Kimberly! I didn't think about puréed fruit. I have some of what you suggested already so I feel like I'm moving in the right direction. Your date is right around the corner! How are you feeling? Nervous? Scared or just ready? Lol

Thanks cupcake! This process took 9 months for me so the time is flying by for me since I got my date last week. I'm so excited I've already packed for the hospital! Lol

Hi cutipie! What day in May is your surgery?

Hi I'm Stephanie and I am in VA. I will be having RNY on May 16th 2014. I am so excited to finally have this surgery and to find this group. I would like to find a buddy for support as this is basically a "secret surgery" for me. I have only told my husband, one sister (who has already had RNY) and my best friend. I'm trying to prepare for the surgery and would like know what things you brought to prepare you kitchen for the first 2 wks home?

Hello everyone, I am new to the group and I will be having RNY on May 16th. This has been an extremely long process for me as I'm sure some of you can relate to lol. I just got my date yesterday! I am so excited and I'm looking for a buddy in May to do this with.
