I am scheduled for RNY bypass on June 14, 2018. Currently, I’m on day four of my pre-op diet. So far, so good!

I wish us bariatric consumers could petition the GasX gods to relent and resume cranking them out! Makes me say Should have done this sooner when they were prevelent.
I'm laying on my bed with my c,-pap,on, I feel asleep last PM without it, did I wake up in the night and put it on? Do not remember, so this morning I look like an out of work jet pilot. I'm trying to show compliance so my surgery will happen why can't I get,bonus points for my 6-8 hours usage, if it was a fair world they should add them all together, then divide the hours by 30 and see I'm trying to be sweetly compliant! I will not get barred from surgery on a technicality if I can at all prevent it!?

I hate that machine with a passion. The second the surgery is over I’m going to clean it, dry it, and celebrate putting it away in it’s pretty little case. Then stuff it in the back of the closet where I never have to think of it again.

I was thinking of the gas X chewable but then found the melt away ones I’m thinking of getting instead

I thought having sleep,apnea was going to be a boost toward getting surgery sooner, not that somebody was going to get all whiney about it! Sheesh I'm a sweetypie I don't need this grief!?

Pre-Op went great today! First, I paid for the surgery in full with the office ($$$!!!!! ouch - but a good ouch - this is the beginning of a big change and journey in my life). The Bariatric Coordinator reviewed all my Vitamins and I'm in good shape. I received my binder (WLS Bible) which I'm eager to read over in detail. We discussed the Pre-Op Diet again which starts 10 days before surgery. The Bariatric Coordinator answered all my zillions of questions. I had a little pocket size moleskine that I've been keeping questions and notes in. By the time the Surgeon came in, I really had no further questions as I felt like everything had been answered already. I received my Pain RX script and also was told my surgery would be at 12:30 P.M. on Monday, 6/25. However, they did say that the time could easily get moved up to earlier in the day. I received a goodie/sample bag of various vitamins and shakes and juices to try out. The team is amazing and I learned that the facility that I'm having surgery in is so brand new that it actually is opening next week. They said the recovery rooms are like a hotel room with an amazing view and for patient visitors, the lounge is insane with an amazing coffee shop. YAY! I am a sucker for architecture, NEW, aesthetics and design. They told me the Nurse Anesthetist will call me in the near future to go over all surgery related stuff (timing, meds, what to expect, etc.). I left feeling pretty excited. I went to CVS after and filled my RX and purchased a few more items: liquid Tylenol, Pepcid Complete (which I need to take 2 a day for the first 6 weeks before I graduate to calcium citrate chewable). I'm going to jump online and buy some Gas X strips. Otherwise, I feel pretty prepared in terms of supplies.

You are doing great!!!

But a beautiful wonderful style dream Iwanttoseemy toes! Smooth into,my and then rock,it for all you're worth. Couldn't happen to a better person than YOU! That's what each of us,should remind ourselves when it finally happens. I plan to be rolled, into my operating theatre with a BIG WIDE SMILE on my face!?????

You are so kind!! I plan to be smiling as well. I'm feeling pretty good, a little nervous about the unknowns afterward but I'm ready!! ?

Congrats on your upcoming Surgery! Do you have family in San Diego? Safe travels as you travel West.

No I don't have any family in California at all. The reason I am having the surgery there is that the hospital is what is covered by by work Insurance.

Your day before me. Congrats on being day 8 this is a brutal diet. Are you liquid only or do you get a lean Protein a day?

I have been in protein shakes. Tomorrow it's only clear liquids.

[mention=333012]RobR44134[/mention] It's a popular date. BEST of luck! I'm sure your nerves are spiked. I can only imagine. Try to get some rest tonight - everything will go great. All the best!

Everything went well. The ensure protein drinks in hospital were awful. Was so happy to have my premier protein when I got home. Also I really missed my sugar free popsicles!

WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST! Tomorrow is YOUR Day!

I'm feeling excited today! I officially kicked off my liver shrinking diet 4 days early to make it an even 2 weeks instead of 10 days. I figured the more weight I lose now, the less I'll have to lose after to reach goal. I meal prepped last night and packed my snacks and goodies for the day and have already downed 32 oz. of water. I did warn my teenage son to please be patient and understanding with me this evening when I get home from work because I may be HANGRY. Haha!
