I am going to have RNY on 12/30...wow, 7 days away. I have been on liquids for one week so far. Doing pretty well on the liquid diet so far. Pretty nervous about the surgery, but I know this is the right thing for me at the right time. Ready to come out the other side!

Hey, we're having surgery the same day. I am having VGS instead of RNY. How about swapping stories some time?
It's crazy, I don't think I am as nervous as I should be.

For sure :) I am not as nervous now that I have been thinking about it some more. I have been wanting to do this for about 8 years....the time is now :)

Good for you that you put a lot of time and consideration into your decisions. I am happy for you that you are excited for the surgery. Every time I think of the wls surgery I am surprised by the emotions that I feel as I get closer to surgery...none of them anticipated.

After I had my 2nd baby in 03 I have wanted to have the surgery. But one thing after another delayed me. I think this is God's plan...I had a 3rd bonus baby and he is a delight. I had more maturing to do...I don't think that the 25 year old me would have been able to comply with the post-op lifestyle. The 33 year old me that I will be in a few more days is mentally, emotionally and physically ready for this surgery.

So are you all ready at your house? I have a to do list a mile long---I want to come home to a clean house with fresh bedding, prepared post-op food ready to go. I can't believe I am even thinking about where shaving my legs and painting my toe-nails will fit into the next 2 days...(besides at the bottom of this list :-) )

If we don't talk before the 30th, I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery!!

Sincerely,
Marjery
