      Hey, all. Surgery went well yesterday. My surgery sight isn't very painful, but the gas is. I'm still recovering in the ICU. They have me here because of getting an RNY and I'm on cpap. The staff has

    Our surgeries will be here before you know it. All the emotions are creeping in. The pre-op diet is hard. And I'm just ready for the next phase.

    Yep, mine is 19 days away, you're even closer. So exciting! Pre op is fun huh? I have to do 28 days so I'm well into it now. I'm finding it not so bad but I'm definitely looking forward to eating a wider variety again after surgery.

    The headaches are really bad for me. I'm hoping they will subside soon.

    Hey, May buddies. I just wanted to say that the pre-op diet is rough. If you can, start reducing your caffeine intake now (if you can still have caffeine pre and post op, lucky). I didn't reduce my caffeine and went cold turkey... BIG mistake. Also, variety in protien drinks is recommended. Im day four and can barely stomach my shakes. Good luck to you all.
