Oh my gosh moment

I'm less than 2 weeks away from my surgery (July 31st). I talked to a gal I know from my pre op classes with my insurance who had surgery 5 weeks ago and she told me...get this...she isn't hungry. When I think about that, I could cry, I almost did. As i approach my surgery date, I'm getting very nervous. I just keep thinking about that...not being hungry! I can't wait!

Hey I know how you feel our dates are the same July 31st and my Doctor has put me on this liver shrinking diet for the last 2 weeks it bites.. And to top it off me and my husband and kids went out today shopping and they all got hungry so guess what.... they wanted to go to mc donalds and taco bell and they eat it in front of me while i drank a WATER.. but I was proud because I wanted what they had but i didnt do it i drank my water... but im the end we will be better ... good luck and best wishes to you ...

It's so hard, my closest friends have no issues with food and LOVE to eat the worst unhealthy things. I sit there eating my salad and water and have the hardest time not being bitter that they are normal weight eating what i eat to be morbidly obese. But i know its time to change, its something i just CANT do anymore. Good luck to you too!!! 31st is only a 11 days away...

HI sHANNON, My RNY scheduled for 7/31 as well. I had my endoscopy this morning, next Tuesday I go for the pre-op testing and then it's serious waiting time. Good luck to you and let's keep in touch. Maryellen R.

So exciting...I have all my testing done, just a waiting game now.... Goodluck to you too!

I had my RNY done on 7/11. When the dietician told us that we would not be hungry after surgery, I just chuckled inside. I thought "yeah right chic!". Well, low and behold...I have to force myself to eat!!! It is a great feeling to not be ruled by hunger. I have lost 25 lbs so far and I feel so much better. I will be praying for you!!! Angie
