We can do this guys. 24hrs from now we'll be different. We won't be preop buddies. We'll be post op buddies.

Every year when Thanksgiving comes around when ppl are finding their fat pants, we'll bw celebrating the day we said goodbye to our fat pants.

So cool to have a group to compare notes with. My surgery will be on the 25th, just 2 days away! My surgeon is going to take out my gallbladder at the same time because my ultrasound showed a bunch of gallstrones - no symptoms from this! Guess I should count my blessings. My husband had RNY Dec 5 last year and is down 95 pounds, I hope I do as well. Sending good thoughts and prayers to all of you going in tomorrow. Speedy recoveries to all! Keep in touch.

      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.
