Brand new, nervous and excited!

[ALLGODSGRACE 7]

Hi! I am new and nervous. My surgery is this Wednesday the 21st. I am having Gastric Bypass. My current weight is 130. I have wanted this for 2 years but due to insurance requirements I kept barely missing the BMI criteria. Any helpful things regarding the 3 day full liquid would be appreciated. My biggest fear is messing up. I have been given a great gift to have a second chance at a healthy life. I don't want to mess up.

Hello ALLGODSGRACE. I have to say I am so glad I am not the only one to say my goal weight instead of my current weight! LOL I constantly have to correct myself! I think our minds are already there, and that, in MHO is a good thing!

Although I cannot answer your question as I am not there yet, I just want to assure you you will get an answer soon from someone who knows. The people here are just so AWSOME and helpful. Makes you really feel almost like family.

Anyway, you won't mess it up. You want it too much to do that. You will do wonderful.

My only suggestion is to call your doctors office or NUT and ask them specifically what they want you to do.

Hang in there and keep us posted! Best wishes!

Welcome to everyone who is starting this journey! You're in for quite a ride!

It's a lot of work, but well worth it. Just follow your doctor's orders and eating plan, exercise, get your fluids in and take your vitamins/supplements and you will enjoy great success.

Good luck to you!
