I just downloaded this app. My RNY date is 2-7-18. I have had all these emotions and fears that I read about on here. I thought I was the only one that cried over their last meal. I know I got this. We all do!!!

Definitely not the only one. I know I've had multiple food funerals before my surgery day came. I went all out too and when the time came, I was completely honest about it lol

Indeed, you do got this. See you on the other side. ?

Welcome. The three things to focus on in this stage if you haven't already done these.

1. Take a good before photograph of yourself, so that you have something to compare to after surgery. Many times we are blind to our obesity. We do not see ourselves. Therefore when the weight begins to drop off rather dramatically, we question if this is really happening. Photographs are a good visualization of our success. Many people carry a before and after photo with them, just to remind themselves of their success.

2. Walk 30 minutes each day, every day until surgery (or equivalent exercise). Walking helps the recovery process go smoothly and minimized the pain levels from surgery.

3. Wean yourself from caffeine and carbonated beverages now. After I gave up my 6 diet coke a day habit, I suffered from a week of severe withdrawal syndrome consisting of severe headaches and body aches. I was miserable. You don't want to combine the effects of caffeine withdrawal with the effects of surgery.

You are not alone. That's one of the strongest messages to learn in this group or any other. Welcome!

Im 2-7 also! gettng the sleeve!
