My surgery is one week from today

I will be having my RNY on Monday, March 21st. I'm ready. This is going to be a long week, I can tell. I'm already having trouble sleeping as I just keep thinking about the surgery and the post-surgery recovery process. I'm also not sure I'm going to have the most productive week at work!

Thank god for March Madness this weekend. Otherwise I could lose my mind prior to Monday.

Congrats! Monday is my first day of my liquid diet and I will be having surgery 2 weeks after you! Hope you make it through the week/weekend and all goes well!

How exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time! Hang in there, before you know it, you'll be shopping for a smaller size clothes and wondering where all the time went! LOL

I understand how you feel. My surgery is also one week from tomorrow and its all I can think about!

1 week from today is mine also! I go for pre-op testing tomorrow. Liquid diet starts Wednesday. I think I'm more nervous about that than the actual surgery! I just started losing sleep last night. I kept waking up thinking 1 more week, 1 more week. Hoping for a better night tonight or this could be one really long week!!!!

I'm having RNY on March 22. The pre-op diet is killing me. My bariatric program is very strict...protein shakes and clear sugar free liquids only.
