Congrats on getting your date!! I am exactly one week post op. the pre op diet sucked not going to lie. BUT it does get easier after the first 3-5 days. For me I just kind of looked at it as though I was already eating like I would post op. it's more mind over matter. Good Luck!!

Recovery is going very well actually. Haven't had any trouble with nausea or keeping things down. Well so far anyway (fingers crossed). I'm having some back pain along with abdominal. I'm just a little concerned because I had an incident where my 2 year old daughter kind of jumped off the stairs into my arms, I had no choice but to catch her. I hope I didn't cause a hernia. I can't tell if it's just normal post op pain or if it's something like a hernia. I have my post op appointment on the 28th so we'll see.

Otherwise I feel like it's going great! I have no regrets!

The good thing about the pre op diet is it means your super close to your surgery date!

Are you excited or nervous?

[crissymcclendon 12]

Im extremely excited when I got the call that I was approved I have a whole bunch of feelings like it just got real! Im really good with pain and etc I had gallbladder out already and I hear that is much worse so im feeling pretty confident that things wont be so bad. Do you know how much you have droped or are you waiting?

I had my gall bladder out at the same time as my RNY. I wonder if it's a longer healing process that way. Still haven't figured that out. Lol

I weighted myself the day after I can home to see how much I gained from surgery (I heard 10+pounds of Water etc.) but to my surprise I was exactly what I was the last time I weighed myself. Which was about 5 days before surgery. I'll weigh myself on Friday. I don't want to get to obsessed with the scale. It can be evil, I hope I can just focus on sticking to the plan.

Don't get me wrong, I'm anxious to get on the scale. Lol

My date is April 3 I'm so ready to get the journey started. I've been on the pre op diet for a week so far and counting down

[crissymcclendon 12]

How you doing on the preop???

[Karl 15 10]

I'm not going to lie it's tuff mostly because of favorite smells. Not hungry it's head hunger just be strong and focus on the prize. Start setting small goals now it'll help later
