I had my RNY on July 3, 2012 I had alot of pain with the drain & nausea the day after They kept me an extra day in the hosp Did a CT Scan to check the size of my Old Stomach I also had ultrasound of my legs Both test ended up being fine & the nausea went away Thankfully! I seem to be really good since leaving the hosp. on Fri. The day of my surg I weighed 269. When I had my 1st appt in March I weighed 286. I went for that appt to talk with the Dr. about Lapband & before we left he talked us into RNY. I have an Aunt who passed away from weight & diabetic complications just 2 days after my 1st Dr visit So that was my conformation that I had to change my path. Since March I have lost a total of 21lbs! I have no health complications & a Wonderful Life ahead of me! I have 2boyz I want to be around for & able to do things with. I have been fighting head hunger but other than that seem to be doing good So glad to have found the App Very Helpful!

I am a month out and it is getting easier but pizza and ice cream were my favorite but learning to deal with it. I am already falling in love with the new me. I am down almost 50lbs which to me is worth not have that kind of food. Just remember with this new life we will be able to keep up with our kids and be there for them which to me is the most important thing in the world.

      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.
