Hi everyone, i just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Daycia and I am just starting out on my bypass journey. I am going with the RNY because my insurance is the ONLY insurance that doesn't cover the sleeve. I am 30 (almost 31) years old. I go for my first appointment with my surgeon this afternoon. My first nutritionist appointment is on October 5th. I'm hoping to have my surgery in April 2016 at the very latest. Thanks for having me!

Welcome! Congratulations to you for being pro-active and getting this done early in your adulthood. Many of us oldsters who yo-yo dieted for decades had to have strokes, heart attacks, diabetes or excruciating orthopedic issues to convince us to investigate bariatric intervention. I am so proud of you. I wish you good luck and good health.

Thank you everyone! I got some good news that my insurance does not require 6 months of nutritionist visits, so we are trying to do this as soon as possible. I think my surgeon was more excited than me. :-) so hopefully before the end of the year I will be having the surgery.

No 6 month wait, good for you!????

I'm a little more half way through my 6 month wait & I am so mentally ready for this. I can't wait. Best of luck to you.

      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.
