Hi All,

Currently, my surgery is scheduled for May 3rd. I was wondering if there were any other people on a similar timeline who I could buddy up with for support and discussion. It will be covered by the insurance IF the results of my sleeping test were negative. I find that out on Thursday. Then the surgery is a go ahead for the 3rd. I am anxious about both.

My surgeon's office recommends to start the week before surgery because will not be able to take them the 1st week or 2 after surgery while our stomach's are healing.

Oh. I was able to start them the day after I got home.

I've been on my pre-op liquid diet for almost a week now and while it's not the easiest thing in the world I'm using this exact mindset. Glad to hear your surgery went well!

Thank you. I hope yours goes just as well.

Hello everyone. I had RNY on May 6th, and I’m currently recovering. I cannot even begin to tell you just how much I’m looking forward to being able to sleep in my bed again. How is everyone else doing?

I just saw this comment. What is it that your surgeon says to start the week before surgery?

My count down has begun. I leave Thursday and surgery Friday morning. I am nervous but excited to get started with a tool that will help me meet my goals.

May 11th for me.

Me too Msbee66...we got this!

My wls is on the 16th. The hospital called me to pre-register and there were a bunch of standard questions that they had to ask. One question was is this procedure needed due to an accident or crime. I said no but then answered well, it could be considered a crime and then we both started cracking up ? and it was hard to stop laughing to get back to business ?

Funny! It should be a darn crime that we eat food and it goes on our hips and other people like my mom had candy bars and cokes daily and never gained weight.

I'm scheduled for FRIDAY THE 13TH!!! (duh duh duh!) Just 2 more days of pre-op diet. I'm so looking forward to getting PAST the next 2 weeks!

5/6 was my RNY as well. I am sleeping half the night in my bed and the rest of it in a recliner. I bought one of those college pillows with the arms to keep me propped up and easier to make it out of bed. But my back starts to hurt since I can’t side sleep so I come down to recline about 4a or so. ??‍♀️

Yikes. I was a stomach side sleeper due to neck and back knee so I guess I’ll get used to the back sleeping in the bed half time and half in the recliner lol.

May 4 was my surgery date and it's been great. I'm able to tolerate all my liquids but, my main Premier Protein is rather "chalky".

I think it was about vitamins. Not taking them 1 week before surgery.

May 24th for me. Started pre-op liquid diet today.
