Needing some buddies that I can relate to. I'm 8 years out and live near Louisville KY.

I'm in Louisville! Text me if u want. 502-379-0537. It's Ali I'm so excited I saw ur post. I just had mine done on 3/6. Doing pretty good. I just feel ignorant on what food choices to make besides no sugar and no more than 2 oz.

I'd love to chat!

I M doing better. Got some nectar and it is wonderful. Used the 5 day pouch test. It always gets me back on track. Back down to 150 now. I don't think I would make a good mentor. I traded one set of issues for new ones.

Don't feel bad. Addiction transfer is so common. When I had my band done in 05 I picked up a nasty habit of vodka/ crans bc I couldn't handle the carbonation of the tonic!

Had RNY done 3/6 and I'm scared it might turn into a shopping addiction this time. But I'm gonna try my best to stay ahead of it.

Maybe it's just me but I think 3 cocktails at night at home is no big deal. It's better than a carton of ice cream!

      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.
