Topic: RE: 4 more sleeps for me till March 16th.....
I'm not the 16th, but the 17th, and my emotions are a range as well. I think it's totally normal. Hang in there, we'll get through this and hopefully enjoy the ride!! I hope you have an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery.

My RNY is on the 17th, I am on day two of liquids only (only have to do 3 days of liquids) and while yesterday was harder than I had thought it would be, I got through it. One down, two to go, lol. Good luck on your surgery, hope you have a speedy recovery!

Emily,
I am SO glad you're doing better! I was genuinely worried about you when I heard what you were going through.
I was lucky I didn't have too much pain. I have 3 cats, and the youngest (a male) loves to cuddle with me, and lay right on my chest. I had staples in my chest, to bind the outer wounds, and he couldn't lay directly on my chest. Now that the staples are out, he can cuddle up with me however he wants.
I didn't get to even a pureed foods stage until the 12th. But when I got home from the hospital, I made a quick egg salad using just the egg whites, as my bariatric center suggested. But you are so right. That was SO good!!

Ohh my goodness! I SOO know what you're saying. I thought I was going out of my mind!!
I'm on my 7th day of liquids...and I'm super proud of myself for sticking to it. I did one of the days with protein shakes, and all the rest I used the Carnation instant breakfast thingies ((the sugar free ones, obviously)) It seemed to have kept me more satisfied/fuller longer. Tomorrow is my day of clear liquids.......
I went today to stock up on things for my first week post surgery today with hubby. It kind of dawned on me, as we walked all through Wal*Mart....yes all the stuff I used to munch on looked good, but my cart had sugar free goodies and broth in it. hehe. Surprisingly enough, I know I'll enjoy the healthy things again in a few months....so I'm happy.
Best of luck to you!!
