Hi freelyme, welcome. A bunch of us chat under a topic called "October Surgery Date." There are quite a few October surgeries.

[Beni 1,484]

Sorry freelyme, I was confused and din't know where I was. This is October Surgery Date. Silly me.

Thanks for the support in advance. I'm super exited, though I'm sure I'll get nervous soon.

[Beni 1,484]

Nervous, neh!

I remember the first visit I made to the Bariatric doctor's office. My knees trembled all the way back to the car. I was kind of looking around the see if people could see me shaking. I haven't felt that way since I was 12 and I was convinced I was seeing an UFO. It was not, by the way.

But the more you learn about the process the more comfortable you will feel.

Hi Sherib4health, welcome to our little group. October is a much better month. After all how could you not want to Celebrate October Fest as the beginning of a new you, complete with yearly celebrations.

[freelyme 149]

I've done everything except the surgery. That's 25 days and counting.

In 2 days, my life is changing in 2 days! Not counting Thursday since that is the Day! I had my last pre op physical and I'm down from 249/250 to 244 ( I only needed to lose a few pounds). My doctor said my liver feels normal so I guess it must be good, not enlarged.

I've hit a couple speed bumps on my liquid diet. First three days I was 100% compliant. Today I backslid pretty hard. Only thing I can do is pick myself up and start over starting now.

I find the hardest times for me are when I'm alone. I'm a sneaky eater- I have been for years. I'm trained to "take advantage" of every moment of solitude = binge. breaking that habit is something I'm still dealing with and its the thing I'm most frightened of after surgery.

You are correct. Pick yourself up and keep going. I just finished day 6 today and it is tough. I keep telling myself if I cheat my liver will tell my doctor. dinner time is the worst. You are doing great and you will overcome.

[Beni 1,484]

Yes, dinner is the worst for me too. During the day I am busy and doing all sorts of things but when I am am home at the end of the day, well!

I am having the RNY and I've just begun the liquid diet last night. There was a challenge. I just hope I make it through.
