Hiya Sept27ers! Holy smokes. It's sinking in that I have only two weeks more before I go in for my RNY. And, in terms of prep, this weekend was a waste. It was great b/c my daughter was home for the first time for a weekend visit from boarding school and we took her back this morning. I'm ticked at myself b/c my food was out of whack during her visit. I'm glad to be starting a low-carb, low-cal, high-protein eating plan tomorrow. My 10-day pre-op diet starts on Friday. (Holy moley, that's coming soon!)

I still have to finish prepping the kitchen, pantry, bathrooms, bedroom, and clothes (sort the many sizes of wardrobes that are stuffed into the dressing room). And, go to work each day too...

I'm still doing the basic research on WLS vitamins and supplements, the post-op grocery list, and protein shake recipes. I wonder if I'll be ready in time? I haven't yet done a lot of regular exercise beyond the twice-weekly PT sessions for my arthritic hip (hey, it counts).

Despite not being "ready," I feel READY. Can't wait to move on.  You too???

 I will be having RNY before October 1st (due to an insurance change) I will know a final date on Tuesday 14th... but they are shooting for 22, 23, or 24th. I am very nervous and excited too. I attended a support group yesterday and everyone was really nice. I meet people from 8 days out to 7 years. I walked away knowing this is the right thing to do.

I'm doing the liquid diet now. I have to do it for 2 days and boy is it hard. I want to eat! LOL

My surgery date is also Sept 27th, I have my pre-op on Monday the 13th, this is all surreal. The waiting is so hard, I'm so excited and scared at the same time. Good luck to you!

Hi - I'm having an RNY on Sept 27 and I'm also trying to figure out a schedule for both my days home after surgery as well as my days back at work post-surg. Have you figured out a plan? I've got one roughed out, but am just now trying to zero in on timing issues about Calcium, vitamin D, Iron, and vitamin C, dairy, & water --- as well as all the rest of the supps and vits. At least, folks I trust have informed me that it's a myth that I must take only 30 g of protien at one sitting b/c more than 30 won't be absorbed. They said one can take more and it will be absorbed. --- I really need schedules or I'll just forget to take all this stuff. I rely on alarms. Just bought a little travel clock, a timer/wris****ch, and a few teacher's timers this past weekend to help (and now I have to figure out how to use them). :P
