Guess I should post here!

30 years old, 330 lbs. I've always been pretty big my whole life, but it's been getting to the point that I can neer seem to drop any more weight. I have a wife and 2 kids with one more n the way. I decided on WLS, specifically RNY because I how I've seen it work. My wife has an aunt and uncle who have both had RNY, a good friend of my family has had it, as well as my mom. So I've decide to go for it.

I jus had my first appt with the dietician and the nurse to get things going. With the program I'm in, I have 7 more apps with a dietician, and I have to meet with a therapist, and then everything gets submitted to insurance for approval. I am going to Essentia Health in Duluth, MN, and I'm planning on having Dr. Bertel do my surgery. He's a great guy as well as a great surgeon

      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.
