Hi everyone,

Not sure where to introduce myself, so I started here. My name is Jonna. I live in Hawaii with my husband and 5 girls. I work at UH-Leeward College as a Health Information Technology Assistant and a student getting my AS in that field.

I am in the pre-op stage and my gastric bypass is scheduled for Jan. 3, 2014. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I decided that this will be a new healthy me for a new year! I look forward to getting to know you all and having a great support system.

Good luck on your surgery. I had lapband surgery in 9/13/13 and I'm down around 40 pounds! I still have a ways to go, but I've been doing really well!

I'm so happy that you've made the decision! You will have a very good year coming up! Congrats!

      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.
