33 days and counting!!!! Excited beyond words, dreading starting the liquid diet in 2 weeks. Who else is looking to change their lives in February?????

So I went out yesterday and bought 2 adorable dresses that I can 'eventually' wear with leggings....One is an XL, the other is a 12 (yikes!!!) for now they'll hang in the front of my closet where I can drool over them....can't wait til I can wear em though!!!!!!!

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 251, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 251

I'm feb 6th too! Right around the corner......

I meet with my surgeon on Tuesday but does anyone know the answer to these questions?

How soon after surgery can I drive?

Will I have a drain after my laparoscopic rny?

Will I wake up with a catheter?

One week after surgery

Depends on your surgeon and what he sees before ending your surgery

Yes

Paid off Macy's and kohl's cards until after surgery and weight loss......pre lapband 2008 250lbs, down to 199 lbs.

Band revision 2009 due to leak, problems with new band gained now 230lbs pre RNY.

No pre diet thank God.

Excited and nervous...Hope we meet Kat77 since we are at same hospital, same surgeon and same date we can walk the halls

together!

That is Awesome! We are RNY twins for sure......I am so happy....I'm going to message you right now!

My surgery date is Friday February 1

I can't wait!

Also this liquid diet sucks!!!!!!

I finally gave a surgery buddy! February 13. I'm starting to get nervous. Anyone else going through kaiser?

The liquid hasn't bother me much I got different flavors since I will be using it a while my Dr only let's you use Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacements during pre op I like the iced late banana gets a little much for very long but when you mix it with chocolate its better THE only thing is it gives me diarrhea and makes my stomach doesn't mater what I mix it with first I mixed with 4 oz skim milk & 4oz water then tried only water no difference so then tried sf soy vanilla milk and water I'm allowed 2 cups milk a day It just makes them taste a little better I think not using all water I've had to do Liquid diet for a month 2 weeks 2 shakes and 1 meal I have a hard time with 2nd shake I'm just feel full have to start Thursday on only 5 shakes and liquids not sure if I can do 5 any suggestions or anyone else having that problem
