Hi everyone! I am new, planning for RNY in November. I live in NC - anyone else?

How long are you all planning to be out of work? I work at a desk job and I feel like I might be able to work from home for part of he recovery time. What are y''all planning on doing?

I’m November 13th and having the sleeve done ?

Getting close . Best of luck to you !

I have surgery on the 14th!! Planning on taking around 10 days off. I have a desk job and managing the liquids and all that won't be difficult.

I am getting the sleeve on 11/21. ?

Hello! I’m also in North Carolina. Sleeve scheduled for 11/25. I’m taking a week off of work. I’m a high school administrator so I’m a little nervous that won’t be enough but that’s my plan for now.

November 26th surgery date for my RNY.
Two weeks pre op diet 5 protien shakes a day with 1/2 cup veggies or fruit snacks in between and 8 oz of water in between each shake too. Fun Begins the 12th! LOL

Hi I'm new to the site and would love to be a part of the November calendar and become buddies with one another, as we start this journey. My surgery date is November 19.

Mines the 25th also I’m nervous too

This sh*t is getting REAL, y'all! I had my final preop visit yesterday and right now I am a go for Nov 20. That's in 11 days!! I'm freekin and happy at the same time. The nutritionist gave me my eating plan and they only make you do clear liquids one week, so THAT'S good...

November 22 for me - having the bypass. Planning to take two weeks

Hi everyone! I'm scheduled for November 20. Today is the 5th day of my pre op liquid diet. I'm really excited to take the first step to a healthier life!!

Hey there Bill! Good luck to you also on the liquid diet. I'm on Day 6, and it does get easier....well a little. I just drown the cravings in water!!

Thanks GothGal .i just got back from my pre-op today and started my liquid diet.I actually get to have a Lean Cusine under 400 calories for my dinners .

I'm having a gastric sleeve on Nov 26th in Tijuana. I only have a 3 day pre-op diet of clear liquids and protein shakes, so I won't be starving for 2 weeks like most of you have. I see most of you have had your surgery already. How did it go? How do you feel? I plan on taking a week off before returning to work....anyone having a hard time recuperating?
