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.

    I am extremely fortunate as my liquid pre-op diet was waved given I have lost 42 pounds in the last five weeks. He felt I was in a good place, so he let me skip the liquid diet portion of the plan and

Mine is on the 29th I start my preop Saturday, am so scared n excited this is all I think about 24/7. There is so much going on in my family right now I feel like this going to be a long and hard road, but am ready somewhat. I know I can't be fully ready for this process even if I tried.

I just keep telling myself imagine yourself a year from now you won't be here, you won't feel unhealthy you won't feel this joint pain you are in all the time. Is the little things that keeps me going as scared I am about this change in my life as unready I feel, I know the only thing that can go wrong from here on is a better faster happier me. And for that I have already proved I am willing to do anything by making this choice.

Good luck to all you brave souls, lets do this!!! ????????

Still going, preop diet isn't horrible, broth is my friend...at the moment.

Sorry about those Spartans, at least you got more important things on the horizon.

That was heart breaking. I am happy that most of March Madness is happening while I am off work recovering. Then my team gets bounced in the first round when they are one of the favorites to win a national championship!!! Argh.

Oh well, I have more important things to focus on, and I still enjoy the tourney. Next year. There is always next year.

Day 4 of the liquid diet. Much easier than I expected. I've discovered that I really, really like broth now considering it actually smells and tastes like food. Plus, I'm down 7 lbs! Can't tell you how long it's been since the scale has actually moved down. 48 hours from now I will be in pre-op. Right now I'm trying to stay busy cleaning house, doing laundry and doing my best not to let my anxiety build. Somehow, the closer I'm getting to Monday the calmer I'm getting. I really wasn't expecting that. Now let's just hope it stays that way! Good luck everyone getting their Protein on this weekend :rolleyes:

I'm also the 21st revision from sleeve to RNY

Good luck everyone, I'm 3/28 can't wait
