Nov 9th

Hi Everyone,

I'm having my surgery on Nov 9th! I've been lurking for awhile, but haven't really posted. It's great hearing all of your stories and a special thanks to those of you that have posted your expirences with surgery this month already!

Thanks and slide on over, I'm 4 days away from the loser's bench!!

Hi Ashleigh,

I am also on Monday the 9th in the afternoon sometime, i get my appt. time today.
How do you feel?  I am sooooooooooo nervous and very emotional today.
I started the 4 day pre-op liquid diet yesterday.  I was good the whole day until last night,
I just wanted to chew so I chewed on the sugar free popsicle stick when I was done with the pop.   lol 
I hope everything goes well for you.

i can totally relate to you. I am having my also RNY on monday the 9th. I have never been so emotional and hungry / frustrated for food until now!! I know its all in my mind but it sucks. Its almost like a part of me wants to turn back and say don't do it, keep eating.... Its sooo sad. Its relieving some to know some people get emotional like this, Thanks for sharing your story I felt like i was the only one!! Good Luck and best wishes to you!!

I am having one of those delicious (lol) chocolate shakes now.  One more day of this liquid diet
and the real one begins.

Good luck to you all.

11/9/09 here as well.  Can't wait.  I am so excited I have bought all the things I think I will need.

Thanks

Hi Dee...I get my appt time today as well. I'm excited and ready for the change. I had to be on the pre-op diet for 2 weeks. But I found out I was having surgery exactly at the 2 week mark and had to be thrust right into the diet. I've been craving LOTS of foods, but I think it's because I had NO time to prepare mentally :) 

I honestly prefer it that way though...makes it easier not to get myself all worked up. I'm feeling ok. Just think in a few days...we'll join the loser's bench!!!

Hi Tanya,

Welome aboard the Nov 9th train!!! I'll be going out and buying stuff as soon as my little boy wakes up from his nap. I'm really excited!

I'm having lap band on 11/09.  Yay we have the same surgery date.  I pray that everything will go well with your surgery!

Talk to you on the other side :) 

Do you think we will get any sleep at all this week cause I sure don't!!


Be blessed ladies....Our time is almost here

I'm actually doing ok, but I have this huge fear. It's that my liver won't have cooperated with my pre-op diet and I'll end up an open bypass. I know it seems dumb, but I'm seriously worried about ending up an open.
