RNY in Nov 09 - Check in!

Hi Andrea, you are a day before me!  I understand feeling in shock over the approval--it is awesome news!  I soo hear you about being scared of getting sick prior to surgery.  This is something that has been running in the back of my mind for awhile now! 

Wow, you've made some serious behavior modifications to ensure your success...ie. eating slowly, not drinking with meals.  I can't say that I've taken those steps but I know I need to!!

Best wishes with your liquid diet--its a toughy but I know you can do it!!

Take care,
Kelli

CKatGo 11/23 RNY: You sound alot like me. I start the liquid diet on 11/9 and am also worried about catching the flu. I am being super conscientious about disinfecting things. Where are you getting the protein samples from?

Hello Kelli,

I am having RNY on November 20th. 
I go for an upper GI tomorrow and start
optifast November 5th.  Best of luck to you!

 Hi,

I don't have the definite date but tenatively scheduled for Nov. 12th or 16th.  I will get the exact date next week at my pre-surgery/consent appt. with the doctor.  All my pre-op testing is done and I did the nutrition class this morning.

No liquid diet required except for the 3 days prior to surgery but I am on low carb and high protein diet until then.

Can't wait to see everyone on the loser's bench!

Hi Margie, congrats on your 11/12 or 16 surgery date!  3 days of a liquid diet doesn't sound too bad!  Best wishes and be sure to keep us posted!

I am having mine on Nov. 30th - I have my pre-op visit on the 20th.  I am soooooo excited!!!
