Hi, I had my surgery November 18th, and your right I hadn't noticed before but there are not many of us that dared to do this right before Thanksgiving. I did have a bite of everything on Thanksgiving including turkey and pumpkin pie. I had no problem until the next day when I thought I could eat some leftover turkey. I still struggle eating meat, but I'm losing so I'm happy.

SherriB.. I had my surgery RNY on Nov 18th also.. I think the Holidays would of been harder if I had been further out! I am glad they are past us now! Hope everyone is moving through this journey well and learning to find excitement in each new discovery.. Not just the # on the scale! I am down 60# but my stalls can last for weeks... My NUT says since I only have 37 to goal , they want it to slow now. Just have to stick to the plan daily! I would of liked to of had warmer weather to be out in for increased activities instead of indoors at the health club but this terrible winter in Ohio surely can't go on forever!

      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.
