I dropped my approval letter off at the Kane Center today and was given a Surgery date of Nov 21st. I am so EXCITED

. I bought my Impact Recovery Shakes ( how do those taste anyway? ), informed by boss who is extremely supportive, and have just been in overdrive reading and looking up any and everything I can find on RNY post op recovery. I can't believe it is only 28 days away. Time is either gonna fly by, or go extremely slow. Kinda weird, but I almost have that kid at Christmas feeling.

Well I am off to read some more post op diet stuff.

Congrats Maria -
The time went really fast for me. I hope it goes quick for you too! If you have any questions, ask away. I know what you mean about being a kid.. I was jumping out of my skin.

Congrats Maria,
It will go so fast, I'm 5 days away and I can't believe it's here. I've also been under so much stress. Thank God I'm on a liquid diet because I just know I would be eating everything in sight.

Do get yourself mentally and physically ready for the change, follow your doctors orders and when in doubt call them.

Do the happy dance as you get ready for a new life.

Thank you so much.

I am so happy and also very blessed to have a wonderfully supportive spouse. I also have a great boss who I think is more excited than I am. She had RNY with Dr Kane in 1999 and is doing great 9 years later. I have enough PTO for a little over 3 weeks, but if I need more, she will let me work from home. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and say 27 days to becoming a loser.

Hi Maria. Just stopping by to congratulate you and wish you the very best. I think the Impact shakes are a lot better now. When I had them, you had to mix them with water. At first, I hated them and then I got to like them. I knew I had to drink them as it was good for me.

It is a very exciting time for you. Enjoy the ride.

So it looks like your Thanksgiving is going to be thanks for a new lifestyle, celebrated with clear liquids!

Take care and keep in touch.
