RNY on Monday-new to this site and 1st post :-)

I'm new to post, but have been here for awhile. I'm having RNY on Monday. Can't wait to get this part over with! I'd love to hear comments on the full liquid pre-op diet. I'm just finishing up 11 days of full liquid and I'm shocked as to how little I've lost! A total of 6 pounds! WTF?!? Maybe this will mean that I'll loose a bunch the 1st month?!?  Anyhoo...1 more day and looser status here I come. 

Hi I am on my prop diet too and at 9 days only have 6 lbs too.  I feel a lot of pressure to lose it for the weigh in before my surgery though.  Good luck!

Thanks! The whole liquid diet thing is not for the weak, right?!? Good luck to you :-)

Best of luck! Waiting is the hardest part!

The pre op diet has an important function that goes beyond losing some weight before surgery....you're also reducing fat around your liver, which gives the doc better working space in there!

And yes, you'll lose weight after surgery, but be prepared. You come home pumped full of fluids and swollen from the surgery itself....so be patient with your body. It will happen. 

Lynn has written some good words of wisdom! I had read that they pump you full of fluids, but WOW! I "gained" ten pounds of it ! One week later, I still have some of it. Don't be discouraged if the same thing happens to you!

Good luck!

Good to know! Thanks for the kind words.

wishing you  a speedy recovery tomorrow  ,  best of luck

Thanks much!

Good luck tomorrow!

Thanks much-a bit nervous!
