Recommended Posts

I am 5'... That's all. No inches. I am 5 months post op and I have lost 70 pounds. So glad I decided to have the surgery. I can actually see a 100 pound weight loss as a possibility.

Hi everyone, I am 5'2 and 10 weeks post op. I have lost 47 lbs total and currently struggling to stay on track with the Christmas holidays. food is every where and Im on regular food now, which makes it really hard because I have no restrictions like I did in the liquid stage. I would love a buddy to help me stay on track. BTW what is RNY stand for? Good luck to those getting sleeved in the near future.

I had a really hard time with all the food as well and I haven't had surgery yet! I am in the pre-op stages and boy it was really HARD! RNY stands for Roux En Y or gastric bypass (I think!)

Newbie here just starting my journey. Would love some 5".2 buddies.

Are you in the research phase or have you had surgery already? I am scheduled for surgery on January 19th. Starting to have bizarre dreams about it! I am scared/nervous the closer it gets but am also eager to have this tool to help me lose the weight I have been struggling with for so long.

I am in Washington State.

I feel amazing! Lots of energy and getting all my liquid in. Today I start full liquid so I can have Soups and stuff. Only had head hunger twice! So happy! Any questions let me know!!

kcsmicah and all, I'm glad I stumbled onto this forum. I'm 5'1. My surgery is also Jan 20, and I just found out about the surgery date yesterday. I'm not starting the pre-op diet until tomorrow, so I'll be on it for less than 2 weeks...why is a long story. :) I have an autoimmune disease that makes it very difficult to lose weight. I'm new to Bariatricpal and to this whole WLS process. I hope the latter works. I need to lose 70 lbs.

      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.
