Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to this app and it's my first post.

I started this journey in January 2016 and finished my last requirement on Thursday. My surgeons office called me on Friday with a surgery date of May 9th and start pre-op diet on April 25th.

I was set on having the sleeve, but my surgeon explained to me that due to my severe acid reflux (GERD), he doesn't recommend it. He suggested the RNY. I've researched it and decided to have the RNY.

I'm super excited to start this journey, on becoming healthier!

Anyone else having the surgery on or around this date?

Best of luck on your surgery! I am having RNY surgery on May 3rd and start my 9 day liquid diet on the 24th. I originally wanted the Duodenal Switch but because of my severe GERD I decided RNY was a better choice.

      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.
