Hi All,

I am new to this and i think i have some how found my way on to a USA site oops!! :rolleyes:

hope you dont mind having me? I am from Rayleigh,Essex in England.

I am a 35 year old mother of 4 i have been following the route of getting a gastric bypass for 2 years now!

I have finally been approved by the nhs for my surgery which will be taking place on the 22/06/12.

I am very excited and nervous all in one go.i Have had to pack my kids of to my parents in Spain for a few weeks to give me a chance to recover as you can imagine having a 10,6,4,3 year old i am on the go all the time!

I really want to meet like minded people and be supported and be a supporter!!!

If you dont mind me being over the pond?

Much love to you all and hope all is well xxxxx :D

How very true. So where are you in the cycle of surgery I have 31 days till surgery for a rny gastric bypass. I am learning things every day but looking forward to feeling so much better about me and being able to do more! I am lucky my husband is very supportive or I wouldn't be able to do this alone. And now pleased to be meeting people who feel the same x

      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.
