Bet it feels weird to not be hungry. Glad you are feeling fine, and hope the peeing picks up for you! ;)

Forget the eggs they are so bland. But the ham is tasting pretty good. I'm shocked.

So' date=' did any one elses surgeon try to get them to change from RNY to the sleeve? My doctor seemed quite persistent, though said the choice was mine, and it didn't seem to bother him that I choose the RNY. He kept going on about doing a fabulous single incesion through the belly button, but seriously, I have a road-map on my stomach from 3 pregnancies, so regardless of how much weight I lose, I will never be showing my bare stomach in public. I am wondering if maybe he just wanted more practice doing the single incesion, lol.[/quote']

My surgeon did the same thing at my first appt. kept telling me I could do just fine with a sleeve instead of RNY. I listened to him but felt the RNY was still the best option. When I went for my preop appt last week I schedule surgery, he didn't seem bothered at all with what I chose. I do think you're right that they just want more practice with the sleeve. The coordinator of my program said it's like the "new" thing they're trying to get people to do. For me, it just didn't have enough proven benefits. Now surgery is Tuesday!!! Can't wait! Good luck to you!

I think they are looking for more statistics for the sleeve, so the more they do the more they know. I already had the band so my doctor said I may not be successful with the sleeve since it is also just a restrictive procedure. My prior band surgeon and my new surgeon suggested the rny. So rny it was. :)

I tried to stop my pain meds yesterday and was a bit uncomfortable. I ended up taking them last night because I couldn't sleep. I was groggy this morning, but feel much better now. I am going to try to help my friend find a dress at the mall today. It will be my first time wearing real clothes since the surgery. Hope it goes well. Going to try not to take pain meds today again.

I am doing the Premier Protein as well. It tastes the closest to chocolate milk and not a chalky aftertaste or thick. Plus' date=' it has 30 grams of Protein for each shake which is great. I have had no issues with it, and I got it from Sam's club.[/quote']

I haven't tried that but i got the lite choc muscle Milk from costco pre made. Its pretty good.

      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.
