Karen -

My surgery is tomorrow, too and I'm a little freaked out and having some of the same thoughts as you are.  I have looked forward to this for SO long and it's finally here and I'm not quite sure how to feel.  I'm anxious but still very excited because I know this is the right path for me.  I have a 3yr old I want to run around with and enjoy her for MANY, MANY years and if I keep this weight on my story may not end so happily.  I think your feelings and fears are completely normal for someone who is about to turn their life upside down.   Recovering from surgery isn't going to be easy but the last two people I talked to who had RNY in January are up and about less than a week later and feeling great so the odds are on your side.  You said you are healthy which makes you less of a risk.  Try to think of it as a chance to start some new habits and set good examples for your kiddos, have faith that your surgeon will get you through surgery safe and sound and that we'll all be here waiting for you on the other side to offer you all the love and support you may need.  You can do this!

Keep your chin up...I know you're feeling a little crazy right now but once the dust settles you'll get back into the swing of things and I think your life will be better than you ever could have imagined.

Hi so nice to see you posting, I'm doing prety good and feeling great. trying to reach my proteen and water goals daily, also walking on the tread mill any ware from 30 min to an hour a day depending on how I feel.  A little scarred to introduce to many foods to quickly so mainly sticking to creem soups and cottage cheese for now.

Thanks for the reply Barb. I have a Magic Bullet also, so I will try some of your ideas!!
The ground meat with spaghetti sauce sounds yummy.
I am doing great! I hope the same for you.

I too am scheduled for the 28th. I am so excited at this point. I have worried myself so much prior to this point but everyone on here has been so great at calming my nerves that now I am ready to go.  Wednesday can't come seen enough.

You will do great I'm sure of it.  We are all here for you, anytime you need something just PM.  What time is your surgery at?  I will be thinking on our big day :)
