RNY DONE YESTERDAY AND I'M IN THE HOSPITAL FEELING GREAT!

I was in my room and all fixed up by 11am yesterday! Now it's 2am on the 5th, and I'm feeling GREAT! This whole thing is NOTHING to be afraid of!! I took a walk last night at around 7pm and just took another walk around a half hour ago! I can't believe that I didn't eat anything since 8pm on the 3rd and now its the FIFTH and I'm not even hungry!!!!! (although I would love a drink of water--or any kind of drink!) I don't get any liquid until this morning--can't wait--but sorta afraid how it'll feel when I swallow it! Love, Jill

OMG, Jill! You sound fantastic! Thank you so much for posting (from your hospital room yet!!), Jill, your encouraging words are so soothing & I thank you so much! I'm a bit well, more like 'quite a bit!' nervous (smile), albeit excited at the same time. I'm about 10 days away from my big day (yippee!). I think you you must have gone into surgery with a great attitude, which is so great & I know you will do awesome in your recovery. Good on you, Jill! Keep up the good work (& the posts if you feel up to it) & enjoy the drinks!! Cheers, Mary

Jill, thanks so much for letting us know. You do sound so great!! Thanks for sharing!! You are going to do so well, I just know it. Keep us posted hon. Congrats on being a big loser!!! Woooooooot Woooooot!! (((hugs))) Anna

OMG. This is just the shot in the arm I needed to get the nerves out. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am all set for Monday and I was worried about how I would feel and if I would be hungry, knowing that you are doing SO WELL, makes it easier for me. Thank you again, and YIPPEEEEE to your success and your seat on the losers bench. Crystal

Glad to hear you had an uneventful surgery and everything is going well.

Thanks for the update and the great news. You are a champion to look up to for my Jan 8 surgery. Congratulations!!!

Thanks for letting us know how great your doing. I go in on the 10 of Jan and I am scared but now I feel a little better about it. Thank you again. Please keep me updated on how your doing. Pam

Hi Pam I'm scheduled for surgery on the 10th as well. It's always encouraging to hear from others who had the surgery and had no problems. Good luck on the 10th!!!! To the original post: I'm glad to hear that your surgery went well. You give lots of hope and encouragement to those of us who will have the surgery soon. Take care and I hope to see you on the losers side real soon Lysa

Jill, So glad you came through everything so well! Good luck with your liquids!! Congrats on your new beginning! Tina

Jill, Your post was just what I needed to read. I am having the surgery on 1/9 and I am both excited and scared. I hope to feel as good as you do so soon after surgery. You are an inspiration to all of us. Jeri
