I am having my RnY on the 26th at GWU in D.C. And had to set up help with kids with in laws because my husband's job is unpredictable and can get crazy (P.G.). I live in southern Maryland..... Lived in B-more (city and county) from age 9-30 and went to UMBC and UM grad school downtown......

Good luck!

How exciting, good luck to you everything will be for god willing. I still can't believe that I'm just a day away from my surgery. The hospital called me yesterday to confirm the surgery time and as I'm speaking to the nurse I had to pinch myself to believe that this is so real. This change that will come to my life I know it's a lot of work and dedication but I'm ready for it.

Surgery date Monday Feb4, 2013 that will be a date that I will never forget. :) good luck to you again. And hope to stay in touch, this forum have really helped me a lot and have answer many of my questions. Thanks to all of you guys for sharing your experiences with all of us here. :)

I'm a little upset I should be having my surgery in 2wks instead I had to schedule it for March 1 on the count of having to make arrangements for my kids. At first I depending on their dad but since I'm refusing to stop child support he has yet again don't ask me or expect him to do anything. I really am tryim to b strong but right now I'm too sure. Last Friday I asked my job for advanced sick leave n waiting to hear bk from that 30days of advanced sick

I will say that I was lucky on that subject, my mother took off a week starting tomorrow to take care of my daughter while I'm at the hospital and I will stay in her house for the first two week. I could say that I'm blessed because I've had all the support that I need from my family,friends and even my boss told me to take as long as I need. Hopefully for you guys it will work as well. U will be able to find somebody that will help you with your kids. :)

Its really depressing to get all this way n have to get delayed. My kids are 15&6 they can't stay home the whole weekend alone. My parents are still together my mom is retired I don't talk to my mom as much but I do talk to my dad. I asked him if he can keep the kids for me n he said we will tall later about it n in my mind I don't have later I need to no now

Tell them straight up that you need an answer now, that you need them to be there for you that this is a life changing surgery for you and that they are your family therefore they are the one that are supposed to count with.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
