I'm getting the RNY - but yes! It seems like so far away, but I know it will come up fast.

Hey, checkmeowt, I am July 15 too! Very cool to know that someone is going through what I am and will have the procedure done the same day. It will be interesting to see how our hospital adventures compare! I am also having RNY. I am meeting with my nut on June 30, and will begin my pre-op diet on July 1. From what I understand, I will be doing a combination of shakes, bars and 1 small meal a day. They sent me a sample of each bar and shake in advance to try so that I can bring my order with me on the 30th and get my supply. Looking forward to keeping in touch! Good luck!! :D

I'm July 13th. ???? I start a 3 day clear liquid diet on July 10th...I have no idea how I'm going to get through that! 3 weeks feels like tomorrow and forever away.

How is everyone dealing with family and friends?

Mine are sort of supportive...they do keep saying things like, "are you sure you really need it?" And loooong angry sighs whenever it comes up - I don't even bring it up! It's stressful but I pretend it doesn't bother me. I just feel like sometimes I'm all alone in this, and others are waiting to say I told you so. Frustrating.

Whatever they feel - I know this is what I need to do. And I hope they'll see the good once my weight starts to go down.

Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!!

      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.
