I was scheduled for 5/31 but couldn't pass my stress test so now I have have a heart cath and stents and put surgery off for a yr. but the blessing is I found out before I had a heart attack. I had started my 10 -day pre-op diet and now on day 7. As of today I've lost a total of 19# 11# have been in the last 7days. I'm going to do this for 30 days then go to modify my food intake to see if I can loose enough. Hw- 325

RNY Is another term for the gastric bypass. I've not heard of a minisleeve? I'm a bit nervous, but more excited actually. I had a total hysterectomy via laparoscope when I was 34 and I remember the pain from that, so I will use that as a baseline. LOL.
My surgery will be in Temple, TX at Baylor, Scott, and White hospital.
I will be occupied from June 1st until June 19th, so I won't be obsessing about surgery day. My daughters are coming to see me from Upstate New York. I haven't seen them since last summer. So, I'll be busy with them.
I know the day before surgery I'll be nervous and won't sleep. My brain will be in overdrive. LOL. Good luck to you with your surgery and recovery.

I've been researching for 2 years now. I personally know 8 different people who have gone and are having great success. So, in 21 days it's my turn!!
I'm going to Dr. Almanza in Tijuana.

      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.
