Great to know someone else will have RNY tomorrow 7/31. So far u mjlange68 and I.

Knowing tomorrow is The day got me a bit nervous too.

I go in @10:30

2nd day of clear liquid diet and still not cranky. Today I had a weight check and the dr gave me 2 thumbs up, the surgery will be on Wednesday.

Never feel ashamed. You have won the weight battle and that one is a difficult one. Best of luck and love yourself more every day. Every day before I get out of bed I say 3 positive things about myself starting by I AM... Then while at breafast I do the same with husband and children.

Today he suffered. It was my first day of the clear liquid diet. I felt well. To give me support him and my sister joined the diet. Poor thing! It actually made it very easy having their support.

I ciuldnt believe it either. When I saw my pictures, I asked my husband why he never brought it to my attention. I started my clear liquid diet today. Surgery on 7.31. I am so ready!!

Feeling good this morning! I gathered the strength to get on the scale to my surprise I have lost 7.1 lbs since monday. I still have to do the 3 day clear liqyid and the colon cleanse.

My surgery is scheduled to be in exactly 7 days from today. I am required to ro a 3 day liquid diet so I do not haves to start until Sunday. However I have an appointment to recheck my weight on Monday. If I did not lose 4 lbs by then surgery will be re scheduled. I have been drinking mostly low or zero cal, eating salads without dressing, and have only lost 1 lbs since last week. I am terriried

I have too! I want to be able to ride a bike, play soccer, go camping and hiking, walk the entire theme park, walk with them wo getting breathless, volunteer for field trips...The list is endless but most importantly than all of the above, I want to live a long healthy life to see them grow, guide them, educate them and participate in all of the wonderful things life give us.

When I started the WLS processmy cardiologist recommended the sleep test. I was diagnosed w asevere sleep apnea. I uave had my cpap for a couple of months and even use it if I take q nap during the day. If while watching tv I fall adleepy 7 yrs old wakes me to put my mask on, followed by saying "now we can hear the tv no more snoring". Sometimes I tqke it off without realizing it. I no longer wake up w headaches or as tired as before.

Me too !! Cant wait

thank you

I have tried EAS Advantage chocolate. At first it wasnt too nice but as the days went bye I got used to it. The price is greeat too. I alsotried the Atkins it was nasty. I have howrver ppaced an order for Unjury. As for protein bars I liked the atkins.

PLEASE give me the name!!!!

I am drinking about 120 oz of water per day. 10 Cups of 12 oz each. I do have my clear liquid pre op instructions and decided to start today. Its just been caos around the home this past 3 days. To compensate the stress I was so stupid I ate a lrg pk of french fries on Monday followed by 2 baked chicken legs last night. If sister and husband continue with the drama, I will pack my bags and go to a hotel. They had never argued in 17 years and picked the wrong time to do so. I get stressed out and eat even more.

I had to do a full metabolic panel w A1C, CBC, Abdominal ultrasound, Endoscopy, EKG, psyco evaluatiin, cardiologist clearance, PCP clearance, Xrays. Not required but I also had a sleep test, pneumologist clearance, Echo cardiogram,

I got the call too. I am anemic, A1C rocket high and vit D deficient. It did not interfer w surgery date.

I am having mine done in 8 days. I have my husband wgo is respectingn my decision, yet worried that something goes wrong. Our families are abroad his arein Italy and dont know. Mine are in Puerto Rico and nly told my sisters because we arevery close and I needed at least one of them here as a strong pilar. My mother recently found out and reserved her opinion. As with everything some will agree others will not. Just be positive and follow your decision. At the end only you know if it will be good for you, if you are ready.

I wish you best of luck, sending positive thoughts ur way.Keep us posted

Thank you. Very anxious and nervous

I saw my Dr yesterday. My liver is still inflamed. I have to get rid of 4 lbs by July 28th or else we have to delayy the surgery. I don't want this to happen. Since my last appointment 3 weeks ago I have lost 8 lbs. How can I loose 4 lbs in 10 days? Dr requires a liquid diet 3 days prior to surgery. I am thinking about doing it for at least 2 weeks.

Happy to hear you are feeling better. Thanks for sharing the experience.
