On Tuesday I'll be three weeks post op RNY. I've lost 31 pounds so far, pre and post op.

I went to a luncheon with old co-workers Friday, many complimented me on my weight loss. I heard the same from a neighbor and some folks at church. Wow, what an awesome feeling!! (And all I tell people when they ask what I've done is eat less).

I'm already down a bra size (band, not cup).

I'm a person who always had an overactive bladder. I'd always be searching for a bathroom wherever we went. Since surgery, that's gone. I can run my errands without visiting every toilet known to man.

I'm doing well on purees, no nausea, vomiting, stuck or foamies.

I go back to work on Monday and start a new position.

I'm loving my life even more right now!!

Congrats to all of you ladies. This gives me so much inspiration as I will be having surgery on June 5th. There is NO doubt that I am sticking this out now and forever. Reading your posts helps me know that there is hope for my achy knees, loss of energy, headaches(high blood pressure), cpap machine and taking all of these medicines (diabetes high cholesteral)...

THANK YOU for sharing and keeping us updated. I enjoy all of the reads good thoughts and not so great thoughts.

      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.
