Recommended Posts

I posted this on another board, I am not quite sure what one to use LOL

Hello everyone :) My name is candy I am 16 months post op gastric bypass. I found BariatricPal while looking for bariatric books on Amazon. I have been on OH since pre op.

I was 42 at the time of my RNY surgery with sleep apnea, Severe GERD, high BP, high cholesterol and pre diabetes. I now am free of all these health issues and off all prescription meds. I still have significant joint pain.

I am married to my high school boyfriend angst.gif(Since 1990) We have two boys together, Caleb (College) and Connor (high school) .

I had an SI joint fusion at 9 months post RNY surgery and a hysterectomy and Tummy Tuck at a year post RNY.

I can't seem to get photos to upload :(

RNY 9-12-2012 HW 250 BMI 43, 2 week pre op diet -8, SW 242 , LW 129, CW 132 BMI 22
114 pounds lost in the first year, holding steady at 118 pounds lost at 16 months post op

      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.
