I just want to post to say how thankful I am for RNY. I was able to enjoy the holiday without over eating. It was wonderful. No guilt. Did I have a taste of a few treats, yes but just a taste. I was satisfied and no holiday weight gain. I know I'm only five and a half weeks out but I can already tell my habits and mind set are starting to change. I just pray I can keep going.

How was everyone else?

I did very well too !!! I am almost 9 months post op and knew I could not and would not overeat. I too had a few tastes of certain foods but stuck to what I knew I could eat, stopped when I felt full and totally enjoyed myself :) This surgery is the best !!!!!

I told my Dr on Dec 13th when I went for my 4month check up just how happy I was to know going in to the holiday "eating season" that I wouldnt be over eating this year! I have been through both Thanksgiving and Christmas without "cheating" and it feels wonderful not to have to join in the coffee pot chats this morning about how much I over ate, how much I have to lose because of it....and how bad I feel.

I simply spoke up and said "I lost a few pounds over the holidays"..... cause I kept up my exercies routine and watched what I ate closely.... added a little more Protein in too.

      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.
