Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

I'm so anxious to hear from everyone! :-) It's more exciting than this boring crap I'm doing at work...

Tonight I have my last meal before I begin my pre-op diet! I'm excited to start my diet because it signals the start of the surgical process! I have waited so long it feels like, yet other times it seems to have flown by.

I hope everyone from the last two days are doing well in recovery!

Day 2 post op- feeling much better. Tested for leaks and came back clean, no leaks:) Lots of walking, burping, an sipping. Off the morphine drip and on oral pain meds. Onward and upward:)

Glad to hear you're doing so well!!! Hope I'm as lucky!!!

My mom is making spaghetti tonight and getting a big loaf if Italian bread so I can have some yummy carbs one last time. Clear liquids tomorrow. Then the big day. Holy cow.

Half way through my magnesium citrate. Ugh. I just have to keep reminding myself that tomorrow's the day!!

I'm thinking of you as I sit here drinking my 1/2 gallon of Gatorade and Mirilax.... bottoms up! It's almost time!!!!!

OMG Surgery has been bumped up from 10 to 730!!! Yay!! I feel bad though bc they said it was bc the person before me who was in the pre-op class with me got denied by her insurance. :-(

OMG that sounds so good! I'm not doing too well with the hunger on this low carb pre op diet. I just ate a pop tart while waiting for dinner to cook...probably blew my entire good day. But thankfully next week hunger won't be as big an issue for me.

Just started on my 2 week liquid date today, I am struggling BIG TIME! Any suggestions please :'(

That's supposed to be liquid diet ...

Don't get to extreme hunger... use your shakes even if they don't sound satisfying at the time..it's only 2 weeks of your life .... YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Well I have less then 18 hrs until I have to be at the hospital and guess who decides to show up. Apparently aunt flo didn't get them memo that I'm having surgery tomorrow. Ugh. This isn't going to be pleasant.

I am so worried about this!! My surgery is the 12th and I can tell im ready to start I just wish it would!! Let me know how it goes.

I definitely will. I asked the nurse last week and she said to wear a pad. I also threw some extras in my bag just so I don't have to wear their huge ones. Lol. I wanted to get it last week cause I knew this was going to happen. Ugh.

I wouldn't mind if it started after just not before. I don't want to be on the operating table with that business going on. I feel for you because that is my biggest fear for surgery. Sad but true. O work in health care so the procedure doesn't scare me a bit.
