I hope as well that your RNY stays uneventful and fast pain free healing.

If you don't mind me asking, where is your surgery going to be and how much did you loose on your first day of a liquid diet? I lost 4lbs. last night. I also rechecked as I do every morning right after I pee. I was still down 4lbs.. Even after putting in 128 oz. of Water yesterday.

My surgery is in Northern California and Kaiser Fremont. My surgeon isn't requiring a liquid diet pre-surgery. He did make me lose weight before he would approve surgery, and I'm down almost 40 lbs since starting in July. I am going to try to be really good this week and avoid anything that might inflame the liver (no caffeine, alcohol, sweets, etc...) and my goal is to drink 100+ oz Water today.

That's great you don't have to have the dreaded liquid diet. I lost 55lbs. In 3.5 months or so. I cut out all processed carbs and sugar including breads, flours, and breads. Love monk fruit/ erithritol sweetner though. I'm currently 232lbs. Was 287lbs back in the summer. I am 5'6", I was 5'8" before my lumber spinal fusion in 2010. So I'm shrinking due to spinal disc collapsing. I'm also having the surgery for metabolic reasons and to lighten the load on my all of my arthritic joints. I have been diagnosed with Diabetes type 2 in the summer that's when I cut out sugars except for the Dannon fit and light greak yogharts. I really hope you do well with your surgery. My stomach is gurgling so loud right now. Wow. Time for a Protein isolate shake.

I'm getting pretty nervous. My house is clean, I finished up with work, and I've done all my shopping. I even cleaned out the fridge and freezer so I don't have anything I shouldn't have in the house.

I have a couple more things to do around the house over the next 2 days and I will do some food prep over the next couple of days (not a ton to do, just putting some greek yogurt, SF Jello, broth in 2 oz cups, etc... ) It would be much easier if I could just keep busy.

How are you all feeling?

Like you I've been cleaning and prepping the house. And shopping, I keep feeling like there's something else I need. It's kind of like the nesting you go through when you're pregnant, lol. I guess it's appropriate since we'll be bringing home a new baby stomach. I'm pretty sure I'll be driving myself completely crazy by Tuesday. Thankfully my surgery is very early on the 31st so I won't have to stress too long that morning.

I'm already starting to drive myself crazy! I took Monday off work and I'm starting to think maybe I shouldn't have - at least I'd be busy. As it is I'm excited and nervous and terrified on a rotating loop :)

Well I just got about 2 weeks worth of groceries for my wife and me. The groceries are put away, and I think I will relax in the recliner till I fall asleep with some Eagles playing, Peaceful Easy Feeling is my first track.

I am semi ready. Trying to work today but have a massive headache. My doctor had me drink magnesium citrate and it was so sweet it made my stomach hurt. Did you have to do that? What time is your surgery?

No Magnesium citrate. Tomorrow I do have to drink a "Carb drink" - about 2 hours before I go in at 9:45 am. I'm prepared for it to be super sweet but hope to be wrong.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
