I am new to this group and bariatric surgery..Trying to learn all I can (what to expect!) I am a 31BMI, not considered heavy enough for surgery but I have a pyloric stenosis that has to be dialated ever 3-4 weeks and surgery is my only cure. I had kidney cancer in 8/2012 and have been gaining ever since. I have always been a skinny gal but now I'm a 16sz and miserable due to my health and weight. My doctor us doing the RNY to fix both my blockages and help my health from progressing worse...I'm 48-live in Pensacola, FL..can't wait to meet everyone..thanks for accepting me into the groups!

      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.
