Its me again - THIS TIME with a surgery date! Monday Aug 11 is my day. I am so excited.....

Today is Day # 2 on the 14 day liver shrinking diet. I will not lie it is tough, but nothing worth anything is ever easy.

Here is what I am tired of:

1. Fatigue

2. Exacerbated asthma

3. sleep apnea

4. High BP

5. Not being able to run

6. Only being able to sleep on my left side so I can breath and not have a heart attack

7. Washing my hands at work in the RR and getting my blouse all wet, because my tummy is so large

8. Not being able to ride a horse

9. Buying 3x clothing

10. Making lists about why I am tired!

Blessings,

Melissa

Hi! Congratulations on your surgery date! I was just approved for band to RNY yesterday by my insurance. I am looking at an August 2014 surgery too! I haven't figured out how to friend people on this site, but I did click to follow the topic.

I have gone completely low carb. My NUT said 30 or less carbs per day. This site has REALLY YUMMY recipes: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/

I have cooked many things in the past weeks and highly recommend it. I went cold turkey off Dr. Pepper. Cold turkey off all the things I should not have. Sugar and carbs are poison to someone with my metabolism and body-make-up. This is a fact I have come to accept recently. I am going to approach it as a food allergy type situation.

I should be choosing a date this week!!!!!!!

Hello :) I am 37 years old. Lap Band 2010 (lost 60 lbs) and revision to RNY on 8/11/14.

I am 33. So sorry to hear about the problems you are having to ensure. I pray that the revision is a real success for you.

<p>So, my bypass is scheduled for Aug 5th, as long as the insurance approval comes through. Everything else is done. Going for my pre-op appt next week. I am as nervous as a whore in church on the front row in a short skirt!!!!! :unsure: I haven't been told that I have to have anything else done. However, I can be your Aug Buddy if you would like. It's nice to have someone to go through this together. </p>

Aug 5th is my day too, woohoo ????!!!

There are a couple of guys. My guess is that a lot of guys don't use a peer support site like women do! Glad I'm female !! ????

      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.
