You will do great!! I enjoyed every pre-op minute as I've enjoyed every minute post-op! I can't believe I am 5 months out, it has been the best decision I have ever made in my entire life!!! You will really do great. My best advice, walk, walk, walk... I read this advice before my surgery and now I understand why it is the best advice, it helps your intestines to work again and the gas to come out. The sipping is also extremely important. Drink all day long, my mom would even wake me up to drink some more, she was terrified of me getting dehydrated, now I appreciate her not letting me sleep all day long!

C'ya in the losers bench !!! :D

Thanks so much just wondering did anyone else feel like this was the wrong thing to do

I did 9 years ago when I first started thinking about RNY. However 14 months ago when I had surgery my mind was at ease and knew this was the right decision for my life. I had reached my breaking point when I could no longer wash personal areas in the shower. I knew then something must be done.

Why do you think you are having doubts?

      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.
