My surgery is Thursday January 8th. I'm so ready for this. I'm finally starting to get the nervous flutters. I keep my blog updated every few days but since I don't have any followers, yet, I don't get any comments. A pep talk would be kind of nice. Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom to share?

You can check out my blog here www.findingsassy.com next week i'll be taking and posting all my before pictures. I know the pics won't be pretty but its got to be done.

Hi! I am 3 months post op and don't have any regrets. I had the RNY and have lost 50 pounds with 50 to goal. I haven't lost anything since Thanksgiving, but I didn't gain either. I discovered grazing the food table at work, didn't record the calories, until I realized I was sabotaging myself! Anyhow, back on track! The first few days are a blur with discomfort. After that you will be amazed at how fast your weight will melt away! I recommend getting an app to track your food and exercise. I use two because I can't decide which one I like better. Many folks on this forum use Map My Fitness. Best advice I can give you is to get up and walk several times a day. This helps get rid of the gas. Good luck!

Thank you for the pearls. I've used My Fitness Pal for a few years and plan on using it again for my food diary. I also have a fitbit so, i cam keep track of my exercise and I started a blog to help keep myself accountable. I'm more excited than anything else. I really thought this day would never come and now that it's almost here, I'm just a touch nervous, in a good way!

I had my surgery Dec 18th. You will go through many different emotions. That's what surprised me. Many thoughts of what did I just do. But reading comments on here and talking to other people really has helped. I'm a week out and getting back to normal everyday. Good luck.
