Good luck on your upcoming surgery. Remember to walk about 30 minutes every day from now on. It will help the recovery go smoother and give you less pain. If you haven't already given up carbonated beverages and caffeine, do so now. You may experience a week of severe caffeine withdrawal syndrome (bad headaches, body aches) when you give up caffeine. You do not want to compound this with the effects of recovery from surgery.

My surgery is May 16th. I've learned so much reading on this board. The mindset, the realities about post surgery blues, the ups and downs. Menu ideas, etc. Each doctor is also so dang different!

Jump in and enjoy :) Knowledge is power ;)

I am also scheduled for RNY on 5/24/16. I have found a lot of helpful information on this site. I am on day 2 of my pre-op diet. I am getting very nervous for surgery, but I also can not wait to get it done. Good luck with everything.

      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.
