I too, had my RNY Nov 6th however, my pouch is to big!!!! After a slow loss (32 lbs) my dr ran some tests and discovered my pouch was not the size it should be :( I go back to surgery July 17 and again, I'll have to do the liquids, mushies and then solids! I've got about 40lbs more I'd like to lose so hopefully this will get me there!

Congrats to those who have has an awesome success!!! I was looking forward to a Tummy Tuck this year but looks like that's not going to happen & I'm okay with that, I'm not giving up!!!

Yesterday jogged twice. I'm doing couch to 5km. One of my goals is to be a runner. Seriously this is going to happen. So my last jog was with my daughter age 11. Great kid great mommy supporter of my changing life to healthy living. She jogged with me. Last night she was dying to keep up. She did but you could tell she was done. My program said you have one minute that means 6 minutes cook down to walk. Ok jogged it and went an extra minute. I did 1 km no stopping. I could have gone more but she was done. So I stopped. I finally had control over my breathing and my heart wasn't racing like I was dying. I was good. I love my Ryn and all the possibilities that are open now to my life. I can do it and I know I can now. I didn't give up. I just finished week 3 but I had to do week 1 and 2 for two weeks since I couldn't get a grip and never once did I give up no matter of the pain or how slow I had to jog or how no one wanted to go with me. I stuck it out. I'm crying while writing this because being obese sucks and life sucked and I made excuse no to excerise go to the mall outings . Now I'm back and I feel a renewed and a better person. Honestly if I don't lose anymore wait who cares I am slowly achieving my goal of healthy living and dedication to achieving a better me . I'm still the same person just a healthier choice that you for all your support kicks in the butt and just listing. I appreciate all of you. Oook crying stopped just had to share

      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.
