Aug 18th is the day... trying to stay in my head. I am like one of the previous. Was good right up until about Wednesday. Insomnia like a mug.... Had to get unisom... Now on liquid clear fluids today and tomorrow. Not so bad, I find that drinking my liquids warm makes me feel satisfied longer. Wishing all of you all the best on our new life journey. When the count down begins.
God Bless

Topic: Have you heard about not shaving before surgery?
I read on the main board some time ago that you shouldn't be freshly shaven when you go for surgery because the open pores or something can give you infection. Have you heard that too?

Hi there! Mine is the same day as you. I'm not planning on changing into PJ's don't want to ruin my own so I'll just wear their gowns. I'm just taking small travel size stuff. I don't know if they will let us shower or not, do you? I have sooo much hair to wash!

My big change is coming August 19. Any suggestions on what to expect the day after? I have been taking my protein drinks now so I know what I might like.

I am going to start packing for my sugery next week and what should i pack
Topic: RE: Aug 20th- This Thursday
I am having my RNY the same day as you. I am just as nervous and the diet before hand has been by far the hardest yet. I have cheated here and there but mostly I have been good. I am doubting and wondering and I have had days where I am down mentally. I know this is the best decision of my life. I am tired of the roller coaster ride up and down one day. Good luck and I am going to friend request you to keep in touch.
