36 here and having rny August 15th :))) Psyched!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I am 36 and just joined the RNY Talk site a couple weeks ago. I will be having RNY on August 15th and I really cannot wait!! I have lots of appointments in the upcoming 2 weeks and its gets me more and more closer to the big day. A little about me... from upstate NY, married, mom of 2 teenage girls and work 10 months out of the year as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant for a local public school district. I have battled with weight for as long as I remember and this surgery is going to give me the tools to reach my goals in life. I look forward to getting to know all of you on here :)

      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.
