Thank you! That's awesome! I'm hoping I don't lose tightness in my face (trying to use my age for my benefit going through this).

Anyone eat something and it felt stuck or your pouch was having terrible spasms? This seems to happen when I eat chicken. I could not vomit but I was nauseated with some sort of a foam trying to come up. This was horrible!!!!

Sometime in 2015... Because #1 I want to have all of my weight gone and #2 I have to graduate nursing school first or I'll lose my financial aid when they calculate his salary in as well. We aren't in a rush though! We enjoy our life together already (though truth be told' date=' we would both love to run out and get married tomorrow... He's VERY anxious an excited!) lol[/quote']

Totally understand finishing nursing. That would add a lot of cost onto you to lose your financial aid.

I planned my wedding (22 years ago) in 9 weeks! My fiancé at the time had moved to Nc and I was still in Sc. We didn't want to be apart, so we did it quick. And cheap compared to weddings today. We paid under $1000 for our wedding. :)

Yes. That's what happens when you throw up. First comes the foamy white stuff and then the food. It's yuck!

That's a feeling I hope I never have again. I had to walk around and eventually it settled in my pouch. I ate chicken like crazy before rny but I guess I will stick to seafood for now.

I have been told by my surgeon that some RNY patient have no tolerance for chicken in any way shape or form. My one friend told me she could not eat chicken for a whole year after here RNY. Im holding off on chicken until im feeling more confident with solid foods. good luck, i would call your surgeon and run it by them to make sure.

Ok I have a bit of a vent... I had a friend find out I had surgery ... If I have one more person say "just make sure you stick to the program" I'm going to scream ! I mean don't know about the rest of you but I'm pretty sure surgery wasn't the first thing any of us came up with. I have been researching this since 1999! If diet and exercise worked for me I would not be here!i did not put my body through surgery to not follow the plan.....

Ok vent over thanks for listening...

Oh god if I had a nickel for every time I've heard it from my bf.

All the I swear if after years and you regain this I'm not supporting you in anything cause what's the point if you don't even believe in yourself.

Wow right? Also everyone else and their mothers saying I know a person/ my aunt/ my cousins grandparent/ apparently the whole world has had this surgery and I'm the last to know. And all the horror stories that I ignore because it's not worth listening to. If I follow my doctors plan and stick with it I will be fine. It's a lifestyle change not a get fit quick change.

If I have to explain to anyone else that it's not am easy process or that I'm doing this for my health not because I'm too lazy to try the "normal" way I'm going to freak.

Plus it's too hot to be arguing with anyone. On the way to and from my doctors appt yesterday my AC in my car started blowing air but it wasn't cold. The drive was almost 2 hours away and omg was I sweating buckets.

7 days til surgery and it can't come soon enough!

      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.
