So, for some reason these updates never "notified" me like they used to. I kind of hate the new site. I had to go through the forums to find this thread. It may be me sucking with changing technology, but I found it easier to use the old site. Now that I have the number I can make a plan. Promise to call tomorrow.

:)

The EG coffee Corners (DD and SB) are right up the hill from me! I would love to have a "cuppa sumptin" with yall as soon as I can! Today is my official Last Day of food and my surgery is Wednesday. Again, I am having RNY, but I learned to love the atmosphere in here when I was planning on being sleeved, so I sorta just stayed around...

I'm about 2 hours from Albany. But I think you are the most local I can find. I was sleeved on 11/27 at 282lbs. My start weight 2 weeks prior was 293. Current weight 260. Best choice I've ever made. I still can't find any Protein Shakes I like. And today I woke up thirsty and gulped my Water. Have myself a bit of a scare with the nausea I felt after.

Good and bad news. I was hospitalized with a deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thrombosis. I survived (stated the obvious) but cannot have any type of surgery for a very long time, and then only in an emergency. Perhaps a lap band will be in my future.

I am going to have to continue the weight loss on my own. MY favorite Protein shake is Bariatric Advantage, Ice Latte and Orange Cream. Enjoy.

Yes, BrickHouse, we are wonderful, and yet I do not deserve" to be in this forum any longer.Bon Chance!

Holly,

So sorry to hear of your medical problems. For that diagnosis although it may seem like a long time, a year is the waiting period. You need to stay positive and know that you are ALWAYS welcome in this forum!!

      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.
