I am in Ocala. Would love to find local buddies i can talk to about this. Others that have gone threw the same things as i am or will be. I had to have my lap band out via emergency surgery the 21st of January and now i am working on going threw all the hoops so i can get the RNY. I have two things left before things are going to be submitted to my insurance. i am hoping that everything will be a go by the first of may.

Hi, I am in Kissimmee and I have done so much research on the rny and the sleeve so I can share what ever I have learned it it's of any help to any of you. I too am in the process of having my r n y and completing my check list of things that need to get done pre surgery. Well good luck to you all and let's motivate each other when we can.

      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.
