October Surgery Date

[amylynns 802]

^{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.}

You can do this Layknee!! What I told myself back in 2008 when I had my lapband done (Had it removed last year, having RNY on the 20th) and I was worried about the liquid diet was, "Surgery and healing time will go SO much better if I comply with the diet the Dr. has set. He's put this in place for a reason, for safety, and I didn't want ANY complications." You will have a few rough days, but just keep in mind, it's all for the end purpose. To have a safe surgery and healthy recovery. The first step to your new, healthy lifestyle!!

Auri--Only 2 days!!! Whoa! I'm so happy for you!! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers that everything goes smoothly!

People keep asking me if I'm going to have my "last meal." There are a few things I'd like to eat before surgery, but as long as I get sushi just one more time before I start liquids, I'll be a happy camper! I crave it so badly! But I don't know when I'm going to have time between now and Monday when I start! The closest place to get it is a ways away. Hmmm, need to see when I can sneak in a quick road trip, LOL!

I am having RNY as well on Oct 28th.

You'll make it. You made it this far to a decision of a lifetime. Nothing will stop us now!

Hi Amy,

I have been having lots of favorite meals but in small amounts. I don't want to mess up my weight. I made a list of favorites and weave them into family meals.

Favorite: pie, ice cream, pizza, cheesecake, steak, etc. I didn't blow out my diet at all.

Amy, the message above was for laykee

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.

Thank you Beni! This is my most favorite time of year. Good time for a fresh new start like you said!

You'll do great Karen!! Everything will go wonderful! You're the first in our little group to go in for surgery, right? Can't wait to hear how it goes. Take good care of yourself!

I will post pics in the morning and try to keep everyone updated on what to expect

[Beni 1,484]

Yes please Karen. We are all cheering for you! Go them babe!

I seriously was thinking about canceling or rescheduling. The closer the day looms the more anxious I become.

I just got off work and I'm pampering myself with a pedi ! Can't go to surgery with ugly feet ????????????????

Omg you said the magic trigger word that literally fills my mouth with drool: pie.

Pie is a definite happy place for me, and I didn't get to "say goodbye."

And then I snap back and scold myself "What a silly thing to obsess about when this amazing opportunity is on the horizon. It's not like you'll never have pie again, relax."

[Beni 1,484]

Yep, Karen Allen is the trailblazer, she goes first (lol's I have scheduled my pedi as well. The hardest decision - what color to go with?)

Next we have AuriP on the 2nd

Then superbariatricbabe on the 6th

Then a crowd on the 7th, (6 by my count)

I actually made a chart. I was getting so confused. I know, I'm special that way.

If I forgot anyone please let me know!

[Beni 1,484]

Karen Allen, what color did you go with for your pedi?
