April 25th

Have a surgery date SOOOO excited.  April 25th, wow can not believe it!  Started on my "Liver Reducing Diet" today, ugh....Using the Bariatric Fusion Choc shake - not bad, but have a feeling its is going to be a long few days till I get used to no food.   When they do my bypass they are also going to fix a hiatal hernia and remove my gall bladder.  Anyone have all that done at the same time as well?  If so how was the recovery?  I have so much going on at work that I am only planning on a week and a half to 2 weeks off.  I sit at a desk all day and may be able to work some half days at office and then at home for  the rest. Really nervous about it all.

I am having my surgery the day after. April 26,I am taking a month. I also sit behind a desk but I want to get on to transition food before I go back. Good luck and I hope your surgery will go great. I t is all exciting!

 Kelly! My surgery is the very next day!! 

I'm only taking a week off, but, I'll just be returning to sitting in school behind a desk for 3 hours a day, so, it shouldn't be that bad! 

I'm super nervous/freaking out/excited...all at once. It's pretty much all I can think about sometimes, just making sure that everything goes well and stuff....

I didn't have to do a liver reducing diet, so, I wish you luck, but, I'm already starting on my protein. After talking to my mom, I decided that once I'm done with the choc/vanilla powders and stuff that I have, I'm going to stick to fruit drinks...I am LOVING isopure...it's one of my favorites...so, I'm just going to stick to that, and blend it into a smoothie with some ice and diced fruit. 

Anyhoo, I'm glad there are buddies here that are around to make the journey together! yay!
Talk to you soon!

One week from today!!! Have lost 4# on the liver reduction diet. Not been as bad as I thought. Yesterday was tough, had a birthday party at a pizza place form my stepdaughter yesterday was tough. Did have a salad but did good other than that.  Getting so anxious for my surgery wi**** was today.

 My surgery is also April 25th!!!!! I have to do a 10 day liquid diet. So far I lost 7 pounds. GOod luck!

I see I missed your surgery day, but I still wanted to say congratulations.  I hope all went well and I wish you the best on your new journey.  I just had my RNY on the 19th.  It hasn't been bad at all, although I'm struggling a little with some head hunger.  I'm a piece of work in progress.  I wish you a speedy recovery.
