Hi. I am scheduled for surgery May 2nd. My biggest fear is not losing weight. I was wondering if it was possible to not lose if you follow the diet and exercise??

Most people would tell you no. Honestly, I'm still on the fence about this. I am losing... though really, really slowly. So all in all I would have to say that as long as you do what you are supposed to do you will lose weight (even if it's extremely slow... like me :blink: )

I'm 27 weeks post-op and I have never heard of anyone that did not lose weight following RNY. There will be times when the pounds come off pretty fast. And times when they come off pretty slow. And times when they don't come off at all (for a while). Focus your mind and your energy on doing exactly what your team tells you to do and the weight will take care of itself. You and your fiance are going to love the new you!!

      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.
