What's your stats...you know, age, weight, height, goal?

I'm 52, 225, 5' 5" pushing for 140 but I realize I'm 52 and don't need to necessarily get all the way down to 140. I'm getting RNY

Hi Pup, curious as to why you chose RNY over sleeve? Feel free to message me if you prefer?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I guess I picked it because I saw a chart showing the long term weight loss seem to be a little better with the RNY. I have second-guessed myself along this journey so far but when I told the doctor that's what I wanted and the nurses along the way they all acted like it was a great idea, it's been around longer 2.

I think if anywhere along the Route somebody would have just said to me maybe you should get the sleeve I would have went that route, but I'm so psyched now I wouldn't change a thing.

That's really a great question because I always wonder why people decide to go with the sleeve

@@sarahb309 I was told that I could only have Clear liquids and the Soup is clear so I think that is a good option for myself. I am gonna strain the Soup before I eat it though.

It sure is. I'm usually irregular, but they said I had to be on birth control so I got the Mirena. I guess it's going to come on time. ???? Terrible... just terrible

      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.
