Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to this app and it's my first post.

I started this journey in January 2016 and finished my last requirement on Thursday. My surgeons office called me on Friday with a surgery date of May 9th and start pre-op diet on April 25th.

I was set on having the sleeve, but my surgeon explained to me that due to my severe acid reflux (GERD), he doesn't recommend it. He suggested the RNY. I've researched it and decided to have the RNY.

I'm super excited to start this journey, on becoming healthier!

Anyone else having the surgery on or around this date?

My surgery is May 9th also! I would really like to be able to text someone while I'm in the hospital! Anyone game for texting?

I'm up for it! Is there a way to private message our numbers?

Hi Everyone! Haven't had a chance to get on here as I've been crazy busy at work. I made it through Day 2 of liquid diet and so far so good. Had a headache for a little while but gone now. Not really hungry yet as I thought I would be. It's great to have friends on here going through this at the same time. @@GermanShepherdMama @@eoconnell24 @@alyharwell @@j16

I'd be happy to email or text with anyone who wants to. Message me and I'll share my info.

Are we excited or what???!!!!

@@LadyClair I also had a headache for like 36 hours straight at first.

Night of day 4 liquid diet - had a rough evening with sudden onset nausea. Drank a Protein shake, ate a couple Tums, and then went to bed early. Seems to have helped.

Hiii,

My surgery is on May 12, and I started my pre-op diet yesterday April 28th. Does anyone need a support body? I so need one, i feel sharing this journey with someone that is going through the same thing can help a lot.

Good luck everyone

yeah I do feel really lucky about that... But I'm also wondering if it will end up biting me in the butt when all is said and done after surgery and I'm all liquids for a week or so! Lol
