So when asked a couple months ago my 9 year old said she was excited about my RNY because she wanted to hug all of me (get her arms all the way around me when she hugged me ) today she realized she was hugging all of me!

I'm so excited. I used a snore recorder app on my phone and it recorded no snoring. I had to try it three nights to believe it!

My new coworkers when I go from area to area see my name tag and don't believe it's me. Say my picture looks totally different.

Same here. I wake up rested. No headaches. Don't wake up to pee eighteen times.

While using my SECU credit card with my pic from last summer, I was forced to use it as a debit because the pic on the front looks NOTHING like me!!

      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.
