Hello! I just downloaded the app, so this is my first post as well. My surgery (RNY) date is the 27th too!! I'm on day six of the liquid diet, and every 15 minutes I question am I really doing the right thing? Ugh! Where are you having your surgery?

Lagrange GA.. I started the diet yesterday.. ugh and you have been on it how long?lol .. I am so glad my Dr didn't require for me to go longer. Who would ever thought cream of chicken would taste so good as a meal.. so ready to have this in the rear view mirror and on the losing side..

We should stay in touch, the three of us I live in Alaska but having the surgery in San Diego. I'm on day six of the liquid diet, I think yesterday was the toughest day. Not sure how old you guys are, but I'm 57 and vacillate back-and-forth on is this really the thing to do??? My insurance doesn't cover the surgery, so I'm a cash patient, and have already had to pay 50%, as well as two weeks of lodging in San Diego, so I guess I'm already approaching the deep end of the pool guess I better get up and stop worrying so much and just do it!!!!

Good Morning! 5:24 AM here in Chugiak Alaska, I woke up from a dream where I had accidentally eaten something.! I panicked and then realized it was just a dream. Grief! Day 7 of the liquid diet I haven't lost any weight in three days, seems weird to me. How are you guys doing with weight loss? I lost 35 pounds on the liver shrinking diet. Beginning wait 291, current weight 254. I started the liver shrinking diet January 4.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
