Lynn Byard



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to do a bit of an intro since she hasn't done it yet. I've known her for many years and I refer to her as "mama Lynn" because she's been a great second mom to me and alot of others. She has had the rouxen-y and not the sleeve, however she has a vast amount of knowledge about anatomy (we had to learn it from a friend of ours that was killed in a rollover car wreck) and how food affects the body.

She is always willing to help and to mentor anyone, I mean that sincerely, she is one of the most giving people I've ever met in my life. She has had major major success (like Tiffykins actually!) in a short amount of time. She's been through hell with her health even while being proactive about it and finally told all her Drs to kiss her butt and went and had the surgery. She has cured ALL her conditions that were life threatening. She's someone I look up to, respect and love alot so please, just because she had the RNY, doesn't mean she doesn't have knowledge to share with us!

Good grief woman, you make it sound like I walk on Water and my poots don't stink (ROFL and we know different!) The Roux En Y was the only surgery that would work for me as the first 8-10 inches of the small intestine is where all the problems occur for type 2 diabetics, and I was a brittle diabetic. I have been off all medications for nearly a year now. I had researched the different surgeries for four years before I finally had it done. And thank you Renee, you bring much joy to my life and I am probably as excited about you having your surgery as you are because I know the difference it will make in your life! Love you! Will see you in just over a week to witness the start of your journey! <3

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
