I am from MN!! I am new to this site too. Any support i can find is awesome! I had my RNY July 30th 2012 and have been doing great. I've lost 22 lbs since surgery and 53 lbs total so far. I am really sticking to the plan and have had no complications. I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for me !!

Well welcome! That's close enough, right? Where are you in the process? I'm still pre op and waiting for my date. I'm thinking it'll be sometime in October or November. So ready for this. I'm glad I found this site also, very good info!

Hello - this forum looks a little outdated. Anyone from MN out there? I am pre-op, getting very close to surgery. About to jump into the pre-op liquid diet phase!

      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.
