I'm down 20 pounds as of today. I'm limited on exercise because I have a broken foot, so I'm losing slower than I'd like. I'm looking to join a gym near me with a pool so I can get some exercise that way. I'm following my docs orders too.

Hi.. I'm only down 10 pounds too since my RNY, It's been slow and I'm walking too. Going back to my yoga in the next week or so and adding the gym. The surgeon said 6/8 weeks recovery.

My surgery is schedules for July 25th! It's almost here! I am required to be on a low carb/high Protein diet for these 2 weeks before surgery. The primary reason for this is to shrink the liver some before surgery. Good luck to all here....Let's do this!!

Hi there! I'm doing well. The first couple of days were not the best. Gas was the worst! Since then it's been okay. I did the Optifast shake for 3 weeks before surgery, so afterwards Protein Shakes were honestly making me sick. As of Monday I was able to start some purées, so that helped a lot!
Where are you at in the process?

      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.
