Welcome, whatever questions you have feel free to ask. Someone will have the answer. Most importantly follow your doctors orders. Every surgeon is different. Good luck.

Yes, welcome to the group. Lots of contributors and 'regulars' here so keep coming back. You'll find good advice and all the encouragement and reassurance you can stand. October 4 will be here before you know it. And just in the short time since my surgery (8/10), I can tell you that this is the BEST thing I've ever done for myself. Good luck to you!

Welcome to your new home! I can say this is by far one of the most supportive group of people I've ever come across. Everyone has such different yet similar experiences. It's great to bounce questions off such a varied group of people. And if you are anything like me, it helps me from talking about rny non stop to my friends and family that (even if they are supportive) just don't quite understand what we are going through.

And you are less than one month away from surgery!!!

      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.
