Hello I am having surgery 03/19/04
Hi
I am having surgery 03/19/04, I had my pre-op testing today and talked to the doctor, I also talked to one of the patients there, he had a RNY in November 2003 and said that 2 weeks after surgery, he went to KFY, and ate some chicken and mashed potaotes, he also said he never went on the puree diet and he has lost over a 100 pounds, wow. Anyways, my doctor told me today that I will do good with the open RNY, I am still nervous but less so than before, surely I can have pizza and diet sprite again if that guy can go to KFY 2 weeks after surgery, LOL. Hope to hear from you soon, I really appreciate the support from you on this website.

Hello,
I am having surgery on March 1. I am new here also. I have been told that the effects of the surgery are different for everyone. My DR. Warned me that there are ways to sabotoge the procedure by snacking all of the time and eating high calorie foods.
Another friend of mine who had it done last October told me that he found that eating hot dogs or buttery foods made him feel ill and throw up the food shortly after eating it. Hey it will happen. I just hope that I don't mess this up. I have about 100 pounds to loose and I dont want to stall out at only 50 or so. I am going to be in here asking for much support from people.
Great to have you with us!!
Hi Tamera! Welcome to the March board! I am pretty much where you are on this (100 lbs to lose and afraid of sabotaging myself). My surgery is on 3/1 too! We who are having surgery on 3/1 are calling ourselves canaries (for an explanation on that see my post on 2/15).
Anyway, it won't be long now!!

March 1... our new start date!
Welcome Tori & Tamera! Glad to have you both with us. Join right in on the fun (this is a great group)!!! I'm new here by a couple of days and already have kicked my shoes off and have taken up half the sofa. (I'm spreading out so I can enjoy it while I can as I will be stuffed into an airplane seat for my trip down and back for surgery!)
