OMG!!!!! Why do people you don't even know feel the need to give their opinion when they find out that you have had rny! !!???? Wtf??? I work at a hospital and one of the doctors asked me how I was losing weight' date=' so I was honest and said I had gastric bypass......so he goes off on this rant (in front of the whole nurses station) about how I should have just exercised and done it that way. ....and then he has the nerve to say that I will start to look really old because of all the sagging skin!!!! What an ASSHOLE!!! I was just sitting there thinking " are you done yet?". Thankfully my Co workers are very supportive and defended me. What a moron!

MD can = moronic dumbass. I work with them too. I don't know about your hospital but none of our male docs have weight problems so of course they don't understand what it's like to struggle with weight. The women docs get it though. You would think those in healthcare would have a better understanding of the sequelae of being overweight & be happy for your decision to have this surgery & not buy into the bias that this is the easy way out. They should realize that diet & exercise are still a part of the plan for success.

Rough week for me. Stomach flu ended up in the ER due to dehydration, also noticing my hair is falling out...oh well. Might be time for a new haircut. Plus side my weight loss has been very steady and I am hating going to the gym a little less now after 3 months.

      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.
