Best of Luck to those going in this week!!! I am 4 days post op and down 7 lbs! I had a rough two days at first with nausea plus getting my period right after but these past two days have been great. No hunger, no pain. So far my RNY has been worth it!

I wish you all a speedy and painless recovery!

HW 283. SW265. SD 3/22/13! CW 258.

Feeling so fortunate today. I went to my one week post op appointment and I am down 10 pounds. My surgeon said that I am doing wonderful and right where I should be. However, I also found out that my roommate, my surgeons first case of the day, had a heart attack and died last night. I am so sad for her family. I can't imagine the pain they must be going through. It just makes me realize that I am so glad I made this decision right now before I got to the point where it was dangerous to have the procedure done or that it was surgery or death. She was older and had a lot of co-morbidities but I am just torn up for her family right now. Her husband and I talked a lot during her stay, I just can't even imagine :(

I feel like a pin cousin. Had to have my original iv out and they have tried seven times so far to get another one started with no luck. They even used this really cool vein finding machine. I just took advantage of no machines to take a shower and it felt great!! I have to have my third Iron infusion tonight )0:

Well, tomorrow is my big day! My surgery is at 1 pm. I have been on pre-op liquid diet for 10 days and think I will be starving by then tomorrow (nothing to eat/drink past midnight). I'm getting very anxious and really just looking forward to getting it over with.

Had surgery 3/25 and have to say I'm doing ok. Stomach very sore and feel like a Mac truck ran over me several times! Have progressed to full liquids and so far so good. Haven't felt like eating and no hunger pains. Doc was going to send me home this evening but having issues with the insulin and sugars too high. Sure hope this resolves itself since that is why I had surgery in the first place. Had a shower and have been walking lots. Baby steps towards the new me!

If you are talking about it grumbling then I know what you mean. Every time I put food into my belly, it gets so LOUD!!

I had issues in the hospital with my blood sugars but once I got home I have only had to treat them twice!!! Always under 150 running 114-125 actually. I love it!!!!

      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.
