I'm having my RNY on 9/22/17. In answer to someone's question I have been trying to incorporate everything they have told me now. However, yes I am craving the bad stuff like cake and ice cream I was staying away from it but then I decided that I may never be able to eat these again so I am not denying myself on occasion. I figure once in a while before hand is not hurting me. I have shed 12 pounds so far, so I don't think I'm doing bad.

I wanted to give everyone a heads up. As far as the Vitamins go you can buy everything your required to take after RNY at wal-mart.com for a fraction of the cost of the so called Bariatric Vitamins. chewable, liquid, fast dissolve(under your tongue), and the ones you spray up your nose.

Yaaaay! Find me on Instagram: virginiaisforsleevers so we can DM and chat! I can also keep checking on here- I would love to have someone to talk to the day before/of/after who is going through the same thing as me! So exciting!

Zallykatz16 I'm not sure but I think you can message someone if you go to either your profile or theirs. Seems I saw something like that when I was in my profile last. In any case if you would rather email or message through face book I'm happy to set up whatever I need to on my end. Let me know. Us RNY buddies have to stick together.

Anyone out there getting nervous? I have been bouncing back and forth from nervous to excited. Yesterday, I briefly had a little panic wondering if I should just leave things alone and not have the surgery. Thankfully it passed but in the back of my head I keep having little thoughts about this??????

Im doing the same thing cookie. I heard from people months ago that they felt & thought the same way. One girl nearly got out the bed while they were getting her ready, minutes before surgery & said she had time to think & felt they were taking 2 long & she nearly walked out. That would be me lol But she was so happy she stayed & got it over with. I need spine surgery again after i lose the weight. All this extra weight will get off. We Can Do It!! GOOD luck!

Hi Mimi of 7,

You sound like me I have really bad problems with my spine and I have had 2 surgeries that were failures. I am trying to put off having to have a spinal fusion. My pain specialist seems to think that I will see a large improvement in my pain levels and abilities to lead a normal active life after this surgery. However, I am really doing this because I want to get rid of my Diabetes. I'm tired of not feeling well and being restricted in doing normal things. Every time I think of these things it helps me to re focus on the prize. I just wonder if I am going to know how to live after this is all over? We can do this together!!! Good Luck !!!!

YES! I am less than a month out and I keep going back and forth too. Like maybe I should try counting calories again and THiS tiME it will work...but then I remember that for what seems like my entire life I've dieted, and nothing has worked!! This is just cold feet, but I will follow through!
