I am having RNY on 3/1 with Dr Evanson!  I had my preop in Logansport! They were AWESOME! Nutrition class is next Thursday for me in Carmel! Good luck to you!

 I will care for my body so that I can feel the pleasure of being fit & fully alive as I grow older.

Topic: Just got my date! March 1st

Got the call this morning and scheduled my surgery. It's finally and really going to happen. I'm finally getting help for my terrible problem with my weight. I bought a book today called "This Year I Will!" It's awesome! It nails issues right on the head!

So, surgery is 3/1 and my big all day nutrition class is 2/21! Excited and scared!

 I will care for my body so that I can feel the pleasure of being fit & fully alive as I grow older.

CONGRATS! I am March 1st. Just found out today. I have been cutting down on carbs, but I go to the pre-op nutrition class next Thursday. No one has said anything about all liquids yet. But I have a delicious protein powder I will start using for two meals a day til I hear something else.

Topic: RE: It's almost here!

My date is March 1st and I am terrified of the recovery for the first couple of weeks. My 88 year old dad lives with us and I am his primary care taker. I tried to get him to go stay with my son, but he's not having it. (DS lives 90 miles away) Dad barely takes his medicines correctly when I help him with them, and I am so afraid I will be totally out of it and screw things all up. My DH isn't good with meds himself, so I am totally freaked out. Dad still has his own place, but he can't stay there alone for a week! He has a cat there that he/we go feed every other day. (She catches plenty of mice in the barn) I told him a friend could feed the cat while he stayed with DS, but he's not having it.

If it wasn't for that, I feel completely and totally happy and super excited! I'm a little nervous about the first week at home while DH and DD are at work and high school, but a friend will check on me.

 I will care for my body so that I can feel the pleasure of being fit & fully alive as I grow older.

Hey Guys, March is almost here! I'm curious, are you more excited or worried/scared? Right now I am totally excited and have no fear about the surgery or the recovery.

How do you guys feel?

Randy

Congrats on the date! I too am on the 6th and am getting more excited by the day. My pre-op liquid diet starts the 24th and right now it doesn't worry me.

I thought everything was done but it seems I was just getting started, still have pre-op labs, anesthesia appt., and pre-op H&P. It's all so exciting.

Good luck and here's to a speedy recovery!

Randy

Looking forward to a healthier lifestyle. I can hardly believe its really going to happen after all this time.  I am nervous and excited. I am so thankful for this site and all the wonderful people I have met. I hope I can help someone as much as I've been helped.
