Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm new to your group & was wondering if this is for any type of bypass surgery or just the ones listed? I had RNY back in 2003 & I would love to be a part of your group. Thanks!

Hi! Many of us are RNYers. There are forums for sleevers, banders, etc., but you are in the right place for rny support!

Welcome! Lots of people that have had RNY. Look at the surgery forums for the one on RNY.

Hi Christy, I see from ur name your in AZ, so am I. Where are you having your surgery done? When are you having it done? I had mine done at St Luke's Hospital in 2003. I originally lost 200 lbs & have been able to keep the weight off. I recently started loosing weight again (not sure why & going to drs to get checked, but I've lost another 20 lbs) I've gone from a sizzle 30 1/2 dress to a 12 at last check may be smaller now.

I've had a few issues crop up they had to move my bile duct connection & I also had a twist in my intestines. I have a B-12 deficiency so I get shots 2x a month & I may need to get IV Iron now also but these things were not something that would ever have stopped me from getting the surgery.

It's a def life change, it's not something to go into thinking it's easy it's a lifetime commitment. If I can answer any questions or you just need someone to talk to I'm here for ya!

Best wishes on your surgery!

Hugs,

Stacey

      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.
