Congrats on getting ur date!!! I am 12 days post RNY and seriously....don't be afraid at all! The first few days are rough but let the nurses take care of you!! I feel amazing! I'm still on 2 weeks of "liquids" soups, yogurts, etc and then this Wednesday I can move to purée! I can't wait to have a scramble egg!! I wish you the best!

Topic: Post Surgery Weight
I am currently 211lbs and 5'2. I have lost 12lbs since I applied for bypass. Is there anyone else a similar weight? I have no health issues either and the few people that I have told I am having surgery are against it and feel I should just lose it on my own.

No Opti-fast here. I am supposed to do 1 week of the pre-op diet. I have to replace 2 meals with a high protein low carb shake and have a lean cuisine or weigh****chers frozen meal for dinner. the meal cannot have beef or any starches like potatoes or pasta.
I am going to just have the 3 shakes a day. I use a vanilla almond flavored protein isolate that has 30 grams of Protein along with ice and a sugar free almond milk and throw it into the blender. I also drink about a gallon of water every day.
I have also stayed busy doing the water aerobics and using my treadmill.
Lets keep in touch...

I too will be having surgery on April 25th. I am very excited and nervous. I also keep wondering if I am doing the right thing. I guess these are typical worries.
How are you doing on Opti-Fast? Today is day 3 and I would kill for something to eat! I am down 4.5 lbs though (started at 216.5). I wonder if that is too much?
My surgery is in Toronto, Ontario.

Topic: How are my early April sleevers doing??
I'm doing well so far, got home from the hospital yesterday. Still hasn't really sunk in but I feel sooooo happy and relieved that it's over and everything went well.

Only you can know that. I can only tell you that I'm 6 years out and it worked for me. It's not always easy, in fact that first year is killer hard, but nobody ever knows when they take a risk, and this is a risk, what the outcome will be. I've maintained my weight for 5 years and I'm at 135 now, my blood work is good and I'm a lot happier with myself, than I ever was before surgery. I hope you have support and if not, you find some. It makes it a lot easier!
Good luck and good health!!!
