Hello all! Im scheduled to be sleeved on January 14th and im sooo excited for my new life to begin. I started my pre op diet today and sadly thus far am not liking the protein( upsets my stomach) thank God im allowed to eat veggies too! Good luck to everyone! !!

I have not read all the replies just yet, but try low-fat soy milk. I bought both regular skim milk and low-fat soy milk, just in case, as my surgeon said this often happens to people, especially since you are drinking it every day, and may not be aware of being lactose intolerant. I found that I do like the soy milk better, and have less stomach upset. Hope that helps.

Hi! YES' date=' my EGD is Jan 14 and my sleeve is Jan 22. I am excited although I did not know I would end up getting a sleeve a week ago. I had always sort of planned on having an RNY but my surgeon feels that at my age (24) I will do better with a sleeve. Am I correct in understanding that the weight loss rate is basically the same as RNY patients? Or like within 5% which pretty much makes it comparable in my mind.[/quote']

My surgery is Jan 22 too! I'm starting my pre op diet on the 8th. I'm really anxious and excited at the same time. What is a RNY?

Hello everyone! 29m here I am new here. I am waiting for insurance to finalize everything and I am starting to get nervous. I just mind of want it over with already the more I wait the more I start freaking out. My whole life I've been yo-yoing not few lbs but more like 90-100. I can lose it easily but have a hard time keeping it off. I feel like my body just wants to be fat. Last year I was on hcg and lost 120 lbs and the. Within a year I gained it all back. I'm so embarrassed/depressed. I hope this will work for me and help me keep it off. Do you guys have any advice? Thank you <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Hi :) I've yo yo'd since I was sixteen. The most I've lost is 60 on one diet. I gained it and much more. I don't have a lot of advice. I can tell you that this forum will probably be a lot of help, and support groups in your town. I am feeling scared and excited. Coming back to this forum really helped me. Support and more support!

      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.
