12/2014 I woke up 40 yrs old; I was sick and sad. I needed to see a doctor for blood pressure refills and pulled up a map and located the closest doctor to my house. I wasn't looking to make any changes; but the doctor was so nice and non-judgemental; I felt obligated to lose weight, after all I was 402lbs. I started with high protein; low carbs and 1/2 phentermine. In one year I was down 99lbs and qualified for the RNY procedure. I am 3 months post op and down a total of 135lbs. I workout four times a week; sticking with rowing and cycling. I am 126lbs from goal weight and I have come so far. I am loving life and have zero regrets. Long way to go yet and I've come so far.post-288225-14591077631937_thumb.jpg post-288225-14591077958222_thumb.jpg

      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.
