So far so good all I have left is my cardiologist and pulmonologist appointments left then its a matter of waiting for GHI so hopefully my surgery should be somewhere in late october yeah just in time for the Holidays! My Bariatric surgeon did mention I might have to take stomach meds along with my plavix so I dont get an ulcer down the road i dont know how I feel about this yet. Thanks Missy hope all is well with you.

If you want something that will make you suffer rny is the way to go. If I take just 1 more bite of food I vomit. If I have high sugar of anything I have dumping. I love it! Not the dumping or vomiting but what happens to me cuz it keeps me focus & I rarely repeat my self. Once I know it didn't agree I try to stay away if no sugar free subtitude or I don't eat oily greasy food I would get so sick.

3 years ago i was slammed with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis which left me jobless ( i had 3 ) and no energy ro go grocery shopping.

I am 2 1/2 weeks postop and the energy i have is amazing. I spent 4 hours cleaning for graduation and I feel amazing.

If you knew how good i feel and if i only had to add an extra pill it is soooo worth it.

I feel sexy and skinnier and i loved to eat but trading my love of food for a healthy body and prolonging my knee replacement is worth it.

If you take blood pressure, diabetes or cholesterol meds you can kiss them good bye.

Your gift of health is the best gift they could get for christmas.

Just saying.

Missy

      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.
