Today is my 55th birthday! All 3 of my girls have come together from around the country to be here for my birthday and my surgery! My RNY is Tuesday, Nov. 25! I'm beginning to get a little nervous. And the food commercials on tv have been absolutely killing me! My youngest got pizza last night....smelled so good. Starting to worry if I can really follow through and make these needed changes.

@@jomamacita7 Lucky you to have all your girls home!! You can do it -- just rest and let them take care of you as I'm sure you've taken care of them for many years!

I am having my surgery tomorrow nov.24th and I've been preparing meals for my family and today I made some turkey meatloaf and mashed potatoes and gravy and it was tough because it smelled so good but I can't turn back now! I acutally have felt great physically on this pre-op diet. The first three days I was a little sluggish but after that I've been amped up for this new chapter in my life. Just be strong and hold onto all the beautiful reasons why you decided to get this done. It's so worth and you owe it to yourself to do this for you first and also for your daughters too. A happier and healthier you means everyone reaps the benefits. You got this stay strong. Best of wishes to you.

Happy birthday and congratulations on your upcoming surgery and the birth of the new you! That's great that your girls are there to support you and help you.

I had my surgery on Nov 10th and trust me, you won't be tempted with food commercials or what others around you are eating! I have such little appetite now, I never would have believed it before! The thought of something greasy like pizza totally turns my stomach and it was my most favorite food ever 2 weeks ago!

Happy Birthday and Congrats!! I am nervous too about my RnY in December. After my 54th birthday. Lol

Thanks folks. I really appreciate the well wishes and encouragement!

Happy Birthday!! Good luck to you today!!!!

Hope everything went smoothly and you are a walking speedy Gonzales!!

I just joined and read your post. Good luck to you and i am looking forward to hearing about your weight loss journey.

Update: I'm doing well. Was really hurting those first few days, but it's eased up a lot and now I'm just a little sore. I'm able to eat and drink without difficulty. No problem getting in my Protein and Water. Had my first follow up with my doctor a couple of days ago and he says everything looks good. Anyway, I'm feeling lots better and am moving around easier. Oh, and food has not really bothered me. I mean it looks good, sounds good, but I can do without it.

So glad to hear that you are doing well!!!

Congrats on your success!

Happy Birthday and congratulations
