2 Days till Gastric Bypass

Oh wow... just 2 days! I'm having RNY Gastric Bypass on Monday, April 20th. I've been waiting so long for this to happen. Thyroid issues have been holding me back, adjusting to new medicines etc... It's finally happening. Monday I go in at 6am and surgery should be around 8am or so... I'm not as nervous today as I have been. I had pre-op on Friday, so alot of things were explained to me and I was told alot of things to expect afterwards. So I'm more at ease now. Sunday I can only have yogurt & clear liquids, nothing else. It's gonna be a long day lol....Today's not too bad, just trying to get caught up on housework and laundry. Getting all my comfy clothes washed because I won't be able to do any laundry or housework for a while i'm sure.
I got my medical release and medical leave pay all set up last week and I'm out of work the entire month of May so that's nice, I'll need the time to adjust and adapt to my new way of eating. I bought a blender weeks back so I could do my protein shakes and I've been looking for a food processor but can't seem to find one I like :( the search continues... lol
My sister in law/best friend is going to come with me to the hospital, she's going to drive me so I don't have to drive my car & leave it parked there in the garage. I'll be there a few days according to Dr. Fernandez. I'm ok with that, I'll need it.
Well I better get back to this housework & laundry, it certainly won't get done without me lol ;)

Welcome :)

Hi Everyone! I just created this blog so I don't have to drive people crazy around me talking about my thoughts and feelings about Gastric Bypass. I'm having this procedure done on April 20th. I'm thrilled - So excited and nervous & terrified all at the same time lol. I know I can do this. It's what I've wanted to do for 3 years now. Its just that it's becoming reality more and more each day. I'm ready. So... I start my pre-surgery diet tomorrow. I've already packed my food for tomorrow at work. I'm so ready to go! Well this is just a intro blog. I'll update and talk more later :)
