Hey guys I know we have a July 2019 topic we can talk to each other on but I thought it might be neat to have a schedule so we know who’s going when and we can check on each other! Comment below with your date & surgery and I’ll edit and add you! We can still keep up on our other topic I’m not trying to hijack. Just making a schedule for us to keep up :)

That's awesome...keep us informed

I'm now 3 days out post op, I feel great!! Some twingy spots when I get out of bed but that will subside, I've been using an ice pack for a few minutes a day, I just put it on the spots that twinge and take liquid Tylenol as needed.?

Next Friday! I’m scared to death!! Did I keep my carbs low enough? Is my liver shrinking enough?

This is me TODAY. This is my 2nd round of pre-op as I made a last minute change that impacted surgery date - went from 7/1 to 7/25. I've found pre-op ODDLY much harder this 2nd time around. The 1st time i did it a month back, I got to Day 13 and it wasn't as hard as I anticipated. I seemed to be able to get by with even less calories than 'allotted' (while staying within the limits of what I was allowed).

This time...I'm HUNGRY/HANGRY..I find myself tearing up out of the blue ...feeling sad and missing my parents and having difficulty interacting with my family (we are all 'Type A' but I've learned in recent years as I got older to be much more laid back). I'm so confused.

The 1st round of pre-op I average about a lb a day weight loss. This time I'm on Day...um..18 and I've lost about 3 or 4 lbs. That's why I'm scared that my liver isn't shrinking enough. I made myself start logging things the other day when I was worried I was maybe still getting in above 800 calories - maybe an xtra protein shake I wasn't recalling.

Best wishes to upcoming July Week 4 group - I'm also in this group! Excited and SCARED..and EXCITED

I had a scare yesterday. Dr wanted another CBC. My white blood count came back high again! I already missed 6/4 and 6/11 surgery dates. They cannot find a problem causing this. I am so scared the Dr is going to call me and tell me its a no go.

You’ve got this! I’m on my way home from the surgery center. I was terrified about my liver being too fat, and the pics they took showed a perfectly healthy liver! I also had a pretty bad hiatal hernia, but it’s now repaired, but making me a bit more sore than expected. Good luck!!!

Forgot to update... I think ?

Post revision to RNY, back home doing great & feeling good
