Make room on the Losers Bench, I'm just a few short weeks away. My RNY is scheduled for 2/20/14, I start my 2 week liquid diet on the 6th. I Nearly started to cry while signing my consents. Pre-op testing completed. I usually feel guilty when I do something for myself. But this year I decided to put myself first, always tending to my 4 children & husband needs instead of my own. No guilty feeling today. So ready for the new & improve my lighter Me!!!!

Congratulations..you go girl!

Congratulations!

Like most mothers we put our kids first. Good luck on your journey!

HEY all, Tuesday is coming fast so today I hit costco, Walmart and CVS to get all my post-op supplements, Soups, sugar free jam (to add to Protein shakes for different flavors), sugar free pudding, Dannon yogurt and a bunch of sugar free powder flavoring for Water. Also picked up post-op meds, all in all a little expensive trip but I figure since my biggest meal is 1/4 - 1/2 cup this shopping trip will last me several weeks. By then I'll be on the "mushy" diet. I am getting so excited, have new nightgowns (no elastic waists), bathrobe and slippers for hospital, my Laurel Burch bag ready to pack.

Just one more thing, I know we are all aware of the issues and problems that may occur, we have all been given the statistics. We have all had those well meaning but ignorant people tell us horror stories about so and so. Well not any more!!!!! We will have challenges, not problems. WE are STRONG!! WE will be successful. Positive thoughts going out to each and everyone facing a new life!

Good luck to you too Sally...sounds like you are ready to go...

Good luck, Sally. You're in my prayers.

Good for you! I am almost 4weeks post op and learning but loving life too!

7:00am tomorrow morning!!!! I doubt if I will sleep much. Thank you all for the support, sending it right back at ya. Did prep with mag citrate, not that bad, just don't sneeze. Getting packed, trying not to over do it, I plan on being in the hospital gown and my own bathrobe and slippers. I know they get you up to walk 4 hours after surgery and even with a gown on backwards, I feel naked. Phone and Kindle, some make-up (I am vain, yes I am), my little fuzzy pillow, toothbrush, comb and that's about it. Love and hugs to all of you !

Hello all --

I am new to this site but am glad I found it!

Good luck to all -- I have surgery scheduled for 2/20 as well. I look forward to learning more about you all!

Just read your post and I'm hoping you are doing ok after surgery today. I'm scheduled for 3/6/14. Keep us posted!

How are you doing since surgery?

How are you doing since surgery?

Feeling better than the day of. Still sore but that's to be expected. Just saw my doc he's sending me home today. I'm tolerating my liquids fine, mild heart burn but nothing I can't handle.

Happy to hear. Each day will get better.
