Feb. 9 2009

I am scheduled for RNY surgery on 2/9/09.  I hope that there is someone else out there who is sharing my surgery date.  I was hoping that I could find someone else who had the same date so that we could keep up with each other's progress. 

I am so anxious to finally get my place on the loosers bench. 

 

Hi Cathy! I'm a Feb. 9th RNYer too! I will be having my surgery in Bellevue, WA.  Congrats on getting your date! I have been off the board past few days (lost my dad on 29th), but am trying to get re-focused.  Looking forward to chatting with you!

Kathy, I am so glad that you responded.  I would love for us to be able to communicate and keep up with each other's progress.  You can read my profile to see my WLS story so far.  It has been a bumpy road, but I am so glad that I decided to do this.   

I am trying to cut down on my intake of food before I have to go on my pre=op diet.  I have lost about 11 pounds, but lately, I find myself feeling hungry all the time.  I think it may be because my head knows that Its getting closer to the liquid phase of this journey.   

I have read that it is natural, but I am trying not to give in.  I need to keep my blood sugar levels down so that they won't be too high to have the surgery.   I would have a stroke myself, if I got to the hospital and had to go home because I couldn't keep the food out of my mouth!   

Looking forward to the journey with a friend who is in the same stage as me!   Thanks for your response.   

Kathy, so sorry to hear about your dad. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Good job trying to get refocused.

Chlimb on the Feb. 9th train!  We're going to do this together.  I am so ready to get this behind me and it will be so much better to have the support of those who are going through the same things we are at the same time. 

So glad to have you along for the ride.   

Hey, I am also scheduled for Feb 9th!!! and am so excited!!  Congradulations to all of us for getting this far...  It just cant get here soon enough for me.

I would also like to be kept in the loop with you guys if you dont mind, keeping track and growing thin together..... hee hee- (that sounds so good, doesnt it?!?!?)

 

 

Climb on the train.  I think this is just what I need.  Friends that are experiencing the same thing at the same time.  I am so ready to jump on the train and come along for the ride with us. 

Suggestion.  Post on this board and put (2-9) in the heading.  It will help us keep up with each other on the surgery date board. 

I hang out on the Tennessee board and the Main board most of the time, but will now check this board too.
