My name is Jaye and I have been a Gastric Bypass patient since 2010. I am six years out going in seven. I have been through ups and downs with the surgery. My highest weight when I got the surgery was 248 and my lowest weight was 135. In the 7 year time frame my weight has been up and down between 150-170. There are days I just do not want to eat because I get sick and throw my food back up and there are days I am just fine. Right now I am going through a situation where I have this pouch that looks like I am pregnant under my breastbone and my doctors tells me there is nothing there. I have constant pain like acid reflux, but my gall bladder was taken two months before my surgery. I am wondering if anyone else experiences this pain and has any suggestions. I will say I do not regret the surgery, but once you get past a certain amount of time doctors feel like they can do nothing for you...

      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.
