i am two months out from RNY.

i started my two week diet september 8th at 247

i went into surgery at 240

today i weigh 210

i'm so scared i'm going to not loose any more weight (as clearly i can eat more now)

i'm also scared of stretching my stomach, how easy is it? could it be stretched already?(i'm guessing it's just not as swollen so i can eat more)

these are just some fears i've had for a couple of days

Hi there!

If you stick to your plan, you have nothing to worry about. 30 lbs over 8 weeks is good progress. Look at it this way: If you lose weight at a slower pace, you'll have less loose skin.

Don't compare yourself to others. Everyone's different. I've been dropping quickly, but I've always been able to lose the weight. I did the surgery to help me keep it from charging back.

Hi Breuxo

You are doing awesome. Trust your program. You will do fine. From what I have heard it is very hard to stretch out your pouch. Follow your Dr.'s guidelines and KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE!! Again you are Rockin your journey!!

      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.
