AMAZING! I had no idea RNY had a "secret society". I mean, I knew people had the surgery but since my surgery 7 weeks ago people are coming out of the wood works. What a plethora of support! I think to myself why on earth didn't I do this earlier in my life? Since I first walked into Pinnacle Health Weight Loss Center 8 months ago I have lost, to date 52 lbs (7 weeks post op). I am down 2 pant sizes and I can't get over the compliments. I was always the "you have such a pretty face" girl. If I heard that one more time I was ready to POP someone in the kisser. I have always been the over weight cousin, biggest in the family. Now, it's MY time to shine. I have taken he bull by the horns and as my boss always says, "Let's do this!! ". My outside will finally mirror my inside and I can't wait to see "ME." Ok, done with my soap box rant.

In addition to the staple food items, soft veggies, eggs, cottage cheese, chicken, fish, yogurt Protein shakes, did have half a taco (amazing) ect what else can I experiment with 7 weeks out. I have been very lucky, no vomiting but then again I have been abiding to my guidelines like the Bible. I welcome suggestions! thanks!

      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.
