Surgery Tomorrow!

Wow. Tomorrow is the day. It felt like this day would never come, but now that it's arriving, I feel like it's happening so fast!

I am anxious. But excited. I expect the first few weeks to be difficult (I have a band and I did a liquid diet with that as well) although I expect it to be very different than that.

I can't wait to get back to the gym. I know that sounds super ambitious, but I love working out. It will be a long few weeks without it.

I will not miss Optifast. I might be the only one who says that, but I truly mean it. I feel accomplished having done it. That being said, I had trouble getting all my shakes in, I have left overs and will send them to anyone in need. I have vanilla. Someone please take them :)

I am so grateful for this community! I will be checking in as soon as I'm able!

Sounds like you are completely prepared mentally for this. I was surprised at how well the recovery went. I had two c-sections and by far, the rny was way easier than those. Best of luck.
