Hi everyone! I am new here was told by a friend of mine to stop in. I recently found out I'm preggers and looking for forums/threads for pregnancy post op bariatric surgery. A little about me I'm from Fort Worth, TX and had Open RNY on 10/01/2003 by Dr Hugh Babineau in Tyler TX almost 11 years ago. My starting weight was 276 and I have lost and maintained a 136 lb weight loss. I had all my reconstructive plastic surgery March 2005 with Dr. John LoMonaco in Houston TX which was a full body lift (tummy tuck with muscle repair, butt lift, outer thigh lift, contour liposuction) and a BL/BA. Hi y'all :) I'm 37 with no kids (first pregnancy I miscarried) so needless to say I'm excited and scared all at the same time. I've been very career minded and am starting my family a little later an most. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and reading all about everyone's journeys. I love to hear and support someone starting out or are as far out as me! :)

      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.
