Topic: RE: Tomorrow is the day.
How long did it take to get your surgery date? How long did you have to wait after you got it? Right now the doctor's office is trying to find out who is my primary insurance so they know how to proceed. How did you make it through the two week liquid diet? What protein drinks do you like the best? I have already started using my protein drinks and started to cut back on eating. I am trying to rid the house of any temptations. What did you do to prepare? I am alot older than you and may not bounce back as quickly as you but I can hope. I had gallbladder surgery last spring and that was a breeze. I am choosing the Roux-en-y surgery and I hope things go as planned.

Thanks for talking to me.  Lindah55

Hi,  I'm open to talk.    What did you have in mind?  I am now 4 days out and am just now beginning to feel back to myself, but I'm not quite all the way there. :-)

It would be a bit strange if you were not nervous. I will pray that your surgery goes well and you have an easy recovery. I wish you good luck for tomorrow!!

I'm feeling a tad bit nervous... I'm sure that is normal and I definitely do not want to back out, so I guess I should just get my bag packed and suck it up!

Hello Pammy, Ladytazz, Yoli, Helen and Joe!  This is great!  Are you all mainly on the RNY board?  Thats where I usually check in first, but I always try to pop in over here. 

Yoli- I know what you mean about hobbies not revolving around food.  I have started painting my fingernails...almost nightly.  Keeps my fingers out of things. :-)
