Hello to you. I am in New York City and have to go for RNY, not only to lose weight but because I have a medical condition that requires it. I am so petrified due to the pureed foods, no eating and drinking and the dumping syndrome, etc.

If I may add that you look wonderful in your pictures and good for you....

I have already had surgery before in that area and now they have to convert it to a gastric bypass because of the complications that I received. I have a stricture as well as many years of scar tissue that makes it virtually impossible and quite painful for things to go down.

My anxiety is out of control and I just feel hopeless. I still am able to eat sugar (not in great amounts) as well as eat and drink to push food down. I don't want to give that up and I think that this surgery would make it worse.

I am so glad to have someone from New York City (actually I live in the Bronx) to talk to and not feel so alone in this journey of a lifetime! Literally. I think that I am going to start attending the support groups beforehand so that I can see other people's approach and words of wisdom to get me through it.

Thank you so much.

      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.
