I am counting the days. Only 8 more to go. Looking forward to getting this done.

Hi Julie, I am new to this board too. I am a few days ahead of you on Jan. 4th. I am extremely nervous. Good luck! Beth

Dr. Pepper...mmmmhhmmmm. It sounds like there are going to be many things that we won't be able to eat again, so I'm trying hard not to even think about it! But a few months ago, I was eating in a restaurant in close proximity to a woman that I know has had RNY surgery. She's a few years out, and lost all of the excess weight that she had carried. She SCARFED down a big bowl of soup and a huge sandwich wrap in a very fast amount of time. I don't know how she did, after reading all the posts on the main board. You don't know howwww lucky you are that you don't have to do the liquid diet thing. I'm halfway used to it by now! Shannon

I go in on the 15th of January for an ulcer to be removed and for revision of my pouch. My original surgery was April 2003.

My surgery is scheduled the 7th of January. I have to do a liquid diet for 2 days before hand, but am thinking I will start it a couple days before that. I hurt my back on Christmas day so am worried the lack of movement the last few days will inhibit my recovery. Nervous, excited, worried if I can screw this up too. ack! Good luck to all.
