Very nice day today, FINALLY passed a lot of gas( my dog has been giving me evil looks when I did) but really makes things better! Short walks around house have been the key, now trying to keep mind occupied. Also got some milk of magnesia, also helped with bm

Hello! It's great to meet you all! I'm Judy and my surgery date is September 17th!

I have a few questions if you don't mind?

•why do we give up caffeine?

• I have read about liquid diet pre-op but' date=' my Dr. has me on a low fat low Carb and Protein shake diet. Has anyone else done this?

• What do you tell people who are negative about RNY gastric bypass surgery?

Thanks everyone!!! This is an awesome thread!!!![/quote']

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow!!

Well in less than 24hrs. I will be a loser. Never thought I would be happy to say that. Lol. Glad that this pre-op diet is over today. Yesterday was draining I was soooo hungry. Nervous and excited but I have complete faith in my surgeon. Wishing all post-op's a speedy n complication free recovery. And all pre-op's a speedy pre-op diet.

Good luck to you tomorrow! I'll be praying for you and a speedy recovery as well!

Ugh my Sunday has been going awful I woke up with the same pain and finally gave in and went to the ER :/ the did a ct scan and found I'm leaking blood under the incision that's very painful! I got antibiotics more pain meds and seeing my surgeon in the morning where they are more than likely going to drain it!! Ouch

Well it's the night before my Surgery and my husband and oldest child think I'm.going to die on the operating table. They both hate it. Not the way I wanted to go into this. My other three boys are oblivious to it all.

Blessings to you Sassy!!!!
