I have to report to the hospital at 11 for my RNY surgery. I'm excited and scared all at the same time. Not sure I will sleep tonight. This is what I've worked almost a year for, now it's just real.

This is my second week with RNY scheduled the 26th. It was hard those first few days, but it was all mental. You won't really be hungry because all the fluids fill you up. I got to about the 4th day and got what I call the pregnancy nose. Everything smelled even more amazing then normal. This week really has been a breeze but I do look forward to the day before surgery when I get to have flavored water and chicken broth. My surgeon does water and pre-made premier protein shakes for pre-op. Just stay busy because your mind will play tricks on you.

My surgery is scheduled for the 26th. I'm wanting to start packing my hospital bag as a way to stay busy. What did you pack or wish you had brought. I read Alot about gas-X strips but my nurse said my surgeon doesn't allow them. Other then that the only thing my class emphasized was chapstick. Our paperwork also said no cellphones within 6ft of the bed due to equipment.

9/26 for me as well. Pre-op today.

I'm Brianna! Also live in Indiana and am scheduled for RNY on the 26th. I could use a friend who understands what I'm going through. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using BariatricPal mobile app
