May 24 Surgery Day

[yescres07 91]

Didn't have any preop diet just Clear Liquids today which I wasn't happy about but I'm so nervous I'm not sure I could hold anything today anyway...I almost feel like this isn't real

Hey everyone, I didn't get a notification that you tagged me in a post, weird. I am 3 days post op. The pain wasn't too bad. I didn't use the morphine pump very often, and as soon as they took me off(late morning the day after surgery) I only took regular tylenol. The gas pain is my biggest irritant, but I expected it, and it isn't super painful. I do feel a little crampy/gassy whenever I drink. I can't wait til that goes away. All in all though, it hasn't been a bad experience. Today I saw a 1.4 lb drop in my weight. Can't wait for the rest of my journey.

Hey everyone, OMG we are finally here and tomorrow will be our big day! I went to work this morning but left early because my nerves were too bad to work, plus i have a ton of things to do at home to prepare. I came home and packed my hospital bag and my kids bag for their stay at my parents house while I am gone. I am kinda hungry this morning on the clear liquid diet, but I dont even care I am so excited! @ did they call you with your surgery time yet?

Good luck everyone and have a good day!!

No, I haven't gotten my call yet. I hope they call soon! I plan on taking a before picture too! I took one the day I started this whole process at 253.6. So, I'm excited to take one before surgery.

Today is day two of my liquids. I hope I do as great as I did yesterday.

I'm too excited to express everything I feel!

I am thankful to be at work today with plenty to keep my mind busy. The nurse called me to confirm my time for tomorrow. I took measurements and pics last night. I am on a clear lisp diet today. Not that hungry although it is only 10am where I am. lunch time will be weird not eating. Excited and have lots of hope today!

What's your stats...you know, age, weight, height, goal?

I'm 52, 225, 5' 5" pushing for 140 but I realize I'm 52 and don't need to necessarily get all the way down to 140. I'm getting RNY

Hi Pup, curious as to why you chose RNY over sleeve? Feel free to message me if you prefer?

Hi @@gina171

I'm not pup, but I am also getting the RNY. I hope you don't mind my input. When I started this whole thing, i wanted the sleeve. I was set on getting that one over the bypass. After going to all my required classes, i found out that the RNY is better for people who are diabetic and people who live sweets. I am not diabetic, but I have been borderline once upon a time. I personally love cakes, ice cream, Cookies, chocolate, etc.. I'm not too fond of candy. But I can't seem to get enough of cakes.

I learned that your body will reject sugar and eventually I will learn to stay away from sweets altogether to avoid getting sick. This is the main reason I chose it.

The second reason I chose it, is because a lot of people are getting revisions to the bypass. I thought I should just get the RNY to avoid that incase it does happen to me.

My doctor said either one is safe and is good choice.
