Topic: RE: OMG Can't wait until my RNY on 12/21
I know your pain very well at this time. I have went from 4 shakes and 1 meal to just 5 shakes on wednesday. I am begining to feel weak but I think I will be ok. And yes, it was a total food fest before school let out. I am in nursing school and one thing nurses are good at is feeding people!!!! But I resisted temptation and I feel all the better for it. No sweets for me this year and deep down I am ok with it. Besides, christmas isnt and shouldnt be about the food, its about people coming together. Anyway good luck on your journey.

That is cool. Thanks for posting about it, cause that is how I found it. I am having surgery on the same day :)

Poof, there goes another pound
Topic: RE: December 30th ~ the start of the new me!~
WooHoo - I'm on for Dec 30th for Lap Band. Cant' wait to see less of me. My DH did RNY on 12-09 (his birthday) and is doing great. He set the bar high for me. I'm currently on a "liver shrinking" diet until my clear liquid day of 12-29. It's hard right now because I'm hungry. It will be good to eat less and not be hungry. I'm not good on the computer stuff yet, so if you want to be a surgery buddy, add me as a friend and I'll try to figure it out. Good luck everyone!!!!! 
Topic: RE: How much will I probably loose on Pre-Op Diet? Did you loose any weight if so how much?
I've been on a pre-dp diet for a week and a half now and I've lost 15lbs. Not too shabby. With the rate its coming off I'm hoping for 20lbs before surgery.

Wow, sorry to hear about your b/p. Don't they expect us to be alittle nervous the closer it gets?! Hopefully all gets better and you can go ahead as scheduled. Not to mention the stress of the holidays?!
I didn't notice any weightloss for me till week 2. It's not really a requirement for me to lose weight the dr just says its helpful. I am to the point where I am not even feeling very hungry anymore. but when I do feel it, it is bad.
Have a Merry Christmas and just keep thinking about how great the new year will be!

Hi there!
I'm the same way, and I still have 11 days before my surgery. It's beginning to freak me out, especially since there's a chance my parents may not be able to make it up here for my surgery which would leave me all alone.
I was prescribed Emend to take when I change into the gown before surgery in order to prevent nausea after surgery.
Welcome to OH, and good luck!

Hello All,
Beginning to get scared. I have been fine for weeks and months trying to get my surgery scheduled but now that it is almost here I am becoming fearful. So some of you that have gone before me please tell me what to expect in the first couple of weeks. I will not be having any liquid protein and will be on clear liquids only. Did you any of you take your Cpap or Autopap to the hospital with you and how did that work out? I worry about nausea.
