What is your why?

I'm doing this because I need a kidney transplant and my kidney surgeon won't do the surgery until I lose 100 lbs. He suggested I do this so here I am. Unfortunately after jumping through all the hoops to get to this point, my kidneys have dropped to about 15% function. So I'm literally doing this to save my life.

My why scares me even more!

Hang in there. My mother has had two transplants when you get through this then your transplant you will feel so much better. Are you on dialysis?

No, not yet, although if I weren't having the RNY I would be getting prepared for an access point instead.

Thank you for your prayers Snow, I truly appreciate them all!

      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.
