@@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!

It feels the same as when I was expecting for the first time (pregnant) excited scared nervous it's all I think about until the big day comes!

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?

Come up with a story of some prep for routine testing.... I think colonoscopy requires that

I'm having RNY June 8th as well, in WA, been on the Protein Shakes the last couple days, don't feel so well, nausea mostly, hopefully that goes away, at least I'm not hungry!

@@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 am not required to do the liquid diet. I have to stay under 1500 calories though. My surgery is June 3rd.
