I would like to be added to the Facebook group. My name is Jessica Brown. Email is msjayebrown@gmail.com.

On another topic. I am having a hard time getting 60g of Protein in plus liquids. I am never hungry. I just don't want to eat. Tomorrow will be one month for me and I feel like I should be adjusting to eating (soft foods) better by now.

So I have a question about the Facebook page I have not told very many people about the surgery and do not plan on it can people see but I'm a part of the group and know what is 4

I haven't told anyone on my Facebook and do not want to either. Will they know that i'm in the group if I get added? I want to join but I am a little apprehensive because it has RNY with the page

For no one to know the group needs to be secret instead of closed. With a secret group posts will not show up on regular FB and it won't say so and so joined group so and so. I too am apprehensive because I have not told a lot of people.

Seems like a long time. Do you have disolvable stitches? I had surgery on 9/10 and my stitches were removed about 9 days later. Mine were different in that I was stitched inside just under skin with just a tail sticking out on both sides. Not comfortable having the long suture removed five times!! Anyway, they then put another set of steristrips on and I was allowed to remove them 7 days later, which was 9/26.

Hey Jessica, there are a few Jessica browns. Either describe your profile pic or friend me (Maria Criscenti Newman) and then I can add you to the group.

I still don't get in all my protein and fluids. It's a bit overwhelming so I just do my best. I haven't found a Protein Shake that doesn't upset my pouch.

Seems like I do fantastic then I over do it and wind up in massive pain! Has anyone found anything that works better than gas x for gas pain? Also, has anyone purchased the weight loss surgery cookbooks if so what one? Hope your all doing OK and getting your fluids in. :)

I bought the weight loss for dummies cookbook and I subscribe to some online blogs the have recipes like The World According to Eggface, Bariatric Foodie, etc. I get bored easily with eating the same stuff all the time.

I have a question! How did you get a surgery date for sep if you hadn't finished all your pre recs? I wanted to get my rny done by my bday sep 24 I see the phy on Tuesday then all I have left is to see the nutritionist. When do I make my finale appt with the doc? I need answers please :-)

My pre-op and surgery date were given to me the same day. I guess it's up to the doc's office everyone may be different. As soon as they got my approval from my insurance it was set.

      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.
