My surgery is next Friday 4/12 and I'm really nervous!! I start the 3 day liquid diet on Tuesday. My last weigh in was Monday and I began a feeding frenzy, eating everything I won't want to eat again. I feel like crap after eating this food which just tells me even more that I've made the right decision to get the RNY. Is anybody else just as nervous as I am??

I don't have a surgery date yet, but I'm already nervous. My Dr. has started me out with a 2 week liquid diet. I already had my "food funeral". Eating whatever I wanted and eating all the places I wanted to. I also felt horrible afterwards, but I honestly don't regret doing it. It was like a last "hurrah" before it's all over!

That's exactly how I feel!! I'm every emotion there is, more excited for a healthier more active life but still so nervous!! I am thankful I only have to do a 3 day liquid diet though!! When did you start your liquid diet?

I'm on day 3. I will have to follow a strict calorie diet for 3 months, then do another 2 week liquid prior to surgery. I'm looking for surgery in mid-late June.

My surgery was on a Monday and Sunday I had to eat light so on Saturday I had my "last supper" and basically before surgery I did eat what ever I wanted. On that Saturday before surgery I ordered a huge bacon cheese burger, I could only eat half -- I guess my guilty feelings took over. So dont feel bad we all do it and I to was nervous, scared, happy and looking forward to a new me :)

My surgery is Monday and oak having a breakdown.I have the lap band and I have felt bulimic for two years until they took the Fluid out of my band a month ago. I've been crying because I finally can eat without throwing up and I'm worried I will be back where I started... sick, fat, unable to eat and still fat. I have eaten everything in site the last two weeks and am now having liquids.< /p>

A friend of mine just had his lapband removed and had the rny done. He is happier already. I think you will be just as surprised at how great you will feel. Stay positive!!

      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.
