Good luck for an uneventful surgery and quick recovery. I had open rny a week ago today and I'm feeling pretty well. I don't really need my pain meds anymore. I was out of the hospital the next day.

Hi I'm having surgery on the 17th as well but laproscopic RNY! Good luck and I hope we all come out great!!! Can't wait to see what we all look like 6 months from then!

Thanks everyone!!

Time is definitely flying by. Mostly because I am kind of stressed about getting everything done before I leave work on Thursday. Even more stressful that they will be shutting our current email server down while I am out and converting to a new one but they won't give me the directions on how to convert until THURSDAY! And I even told them I will be gone!!! But I guess staying busy will keep my mind off my surgery.

I think I have "turned the corner" on the liquid diet. My cravings are not as bad anyway. I would love some salad and chicken, though. For my LD I get to have Carnation Instant Breakfast, Ensure, Slim-Fast and things like that. Thursday is clear liquids only, which ought to be interesting, to say the least. Then NOTHING after midnight, even though my surgery isn't until 2 on Friday. I am going to be sooooo thirsty!

I have been thinking about going to one of the Coffees, Burnsville definitely would be a good option since most of the others seem to be a bit far away for me, especially that early in the morning!!

Thanks again to everybody and good luck to you all too!!!

Prayers for you BigRed!  Make sure to check in when you can! 

You might not.  My BMI is 60 and I have a hard enough time now!  Imagine trying to wipe after just having your abdomen cut open?
