@@carebear42, isn't is crazy how it consumes your life? A friend of mine had bypass back in February and I do not remember her talking about it as much as I think about it, so sometimes wonder if it's just me. I think about something related to it, every single minute of every single day!!

I am not nervous yet, but I wonder what the night before is going to be like. I can imagine I will get little to no sleep.

This was my last full weekend of freedom (before my pre-op diet), so we did go out to eat quite a bit, just hitting up those favorites one last time :-)

It really has consumed my life! I try not to talk to everyone about it but can't help it sometimes.

I am starting to get anxious now. I'm not sleeping well at all. I'm excited and nervous! So ready for June 3rd!

I am scheduled for surgery June 2. I am so excited and nervous. I started the liquid diet on Friday. It has been so hard over the holiday weekend. I thought it would get easier but it hasn't. I'm going to a cookout today with some friends and I don't know how to handle all the questions about why I'm not eating....any advice is appreciated. I'm not telling anyone except my immediate family I'm having RNY surgery. My CW 275 CH 5'11". 150 is my goal weight. Anyone else have a June 2nd surgery date?

@@mmrennau I agree. I am scheduled for June 5th and I feel the exact same as I felt being pregnant with both of my children. Anxious, excited and thinking about the future but terrified of whats to come as well. I know this is the best choice for me. I am Type II diabetic, high cholesteral, sleep apnea (on C-Pap machine) & high blood pressure.

Enough is enough I will do ANYTHING for a healithier life... I am so excited and feel blessed for us all.

Just checking in, how is everyone doing? Our days are becoming limited (12 for me)!! I had my nutrition class today, not too much new information. The two things I did learn, I did NOT like! I learned that my Dr. requires his roux en y patients to have a catheter and I also have to do the colon cleanse the day before surgery - GRRRRRR! I am scheduled to be at work the day before surgery, so I am not sure how that's going to do over :-)

Hope everyone is doing well and getting prepared!!

Not much longer!!! I have been on a roller coaster of emotions these last few days! So ready for it to be here and move forward. I will have a catheter as well but no cleansing before surgery! I hope that goes well for you!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
