Tuesday I will be two weeks post-op. I will tell you that my nerves were over the top!! I can also tell you that my experience has been terrific! I had RNY plus gallbladder laproscopicly. I was up and walking laps around the hospital ward that night. Yesterday I did 1.5 miles on the treadmill. I have lost about 13 pounds since surgery. I will go back to work 1/2 days on Wednesday. I probably could have gone back last week, I felt that good!! Good luck!!

Thanks everyone! I will post as soon as I'm able. @Carol, so glad it all went so well for you; I'm hoping for the same outcome. I had my gallbladder out years ago so I don't have to worry with that. My surgeon's during the procedure with the Da Vinci Robot; supposedly there's less chance of complications and a quicker recovery time. I'm hoping to go back to work in two weeks!!

      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.
