Ok so i finally went out and got a heating pad so I'm laying on that and it's helping with the back and shoulders at least temporarily. I could cry from the amount of relief right now. Thank goodness!

Work in my office a little but ago and I could hardly stand to sit there. Laying down for a bit then going for a walk maybe that will help! If you figure out the source let me know too. Lol

I just had my first food craving. I am craving a pickle like no other! I think it may be because I am sick of these sweet shakes I have been drinking for over three weeks now.

My thoughts will be on you tomorrow, but you'll do great Don't over pack because most of the stuff you probably won't need. Remember to sit back and relax a little today. The first week is a little hairy at times, but keep focusing on the losers bench you'll be sitting on come Tuesday.

Sound like gas. Not your typical gas pains, but the blow you up like a balloon and it is trying to find a place to escape. Walk, walk, walk. I have heard some say the gasx strips don't work on RNY gas and I disagree. There is the gas from Sx and gas from you eating/drinking that has no where to go now that your pouch is so small.

I'm at the hospital waiting on the nurse to come and finish my admission questions. Then off to the pre op holding area to meet with the anesthesiologist before surgery. Wish me luck as I do the same for you all!

      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.
