Roux-en Y on Nov. 5

My date is slowly approching I am hungry. It's only been 2 days of liquid diet but I have had to turn off the TV b/c of the all of the food that gets blasted at you. Eleven days till my surgery and I get so excited that I have to remind myself to breathe. I'm worried about my Lupus and what it will do after the surgery. Anyone else with a pre-exisiting chronic condition?

Hi Jessica! I'm scheduled for RNY surgery just 2 days after you..so I get what you're talking about when you say you're excited! Don't you hate the TV commercials? I want to freak out on the fast food places! ...they really just shove that stuff down our throats don't they? I wonder why so much of America is obese... The worst part is that all that gooey, sizzly, crispy wondful they're showing isn't even reality! How many times have I been lurred by a Pizza Hut or Taco Bell commercial and been disapointed by the reality??? I hope I've learned. Sorry I can't be of any help with your question...just wanted to say "hi"! Keep us posted on your progress... Heather

Hey I can totally tell that you're excit my surgery is the exact same day!!!! we are re-birthday buddies!!! WOOHOOO!!! I don't know about life after the surgery with lupus but I know my mom has it so I hope everything goes just fine for you!! GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS!!!
