My surgery date was 3 1/2 mos ago. Down almost 70 lbs. Definitely glad I decided on the RNY.

Hi Jana... I feel your fear my surgery is next Monday April 11... And nerves are definitely flying!. I'm not afraid of the pain..it's the whole surgery process..I'm a needle phob!...and the fear of what's to come. This Optifast 2 week diet is so hard but I'm getting through it. I totally get the nerves!,

My surgery is next Tuesday. I had my first consult on my 30th birthday on June 4, 2015.
I started at 59% BMI. My insurance requires 6 months dietitian supervised weight loss attempts. I also had an upper GI, three psychology appointments, one exercise physiologist appointment, pre-op class, EKG, chest x-ray, pre-op labwork, anesthesiologist consult, pre-op meeting with surgeon.
It's a lot of appointments but will be worth it!

I agree ambernicole22. We need to stay in contact. This liquid pre-op diet is beginning to bore me! broth, Jello, and popsicles! The popsicle part isn't so bad because it makes me feel like I'm cheating (they are really good), but I'm ready to move on from this stage. Will still have 1-2 weeks of this liquid diet AFTER surgery! Yikes!
I hope everyone having surgery next week all have good luck and wonderful outcomes. I have lots to do this weekend to be prepared for Monday! Can't believe it is here. Began this journey last September and here we are! So excited for everyone!

I agree I love this group we definitely need to keep Up with each other.

Thank you so much! It has been quite the journey.
I'm so proud of our liquid diet group. Everyone is being so supportive and strong. We've got this!

We're almost there ladies almost there!!! I'm starting to get some anxiety like holy shit I'm doing this. I'm so excited too.

RNY on 4/14 for me. Just found out. Started liver shrink on 4/5. It's coming fast! Very excited, but nervous!

I had my bypass on April 2nd and feeling pretty good apart from a pain in my shoulder from trapped air. My liver was fine but there were lots of adhesions from my band and the surgeon also repaired a hiatus hernia.
Good luck to everyone who is having an April operation x

Day 5 of the liquid diet here. I'm pretty miserable but I know it will be worth it. My surgery is 4/4.
I also tell myself I don't want my liver to get damaged! Lol.

I am allowed to have Protein shakes/drinks, Water, broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, Decaf coffee/tea, calorie free decaf any type of drink.
I am a diabetic T2 and have to use everything that is sugar free, so it is hard for me to hit 800 calories a day on this diet (that is the amount of calories permitted).

Hi, this is my first time posting anything. I am converting from lapband to rny. My surgery date is May 6th. I'm so grateful to have this forum to come to when I have questions and concerns. I'm very nervous that I'm going to fail just like I did with the lapband. Anyways, good luck to everyone.

I am LOVING the support and all of the dates close or same as mine! It is sort of nice knowing I'm not alone in my misery. LoL
