I have my surgery date it's January 15. I have to have RNY with a little more. I'm on the scared side mainly because of age and health, some of the same reason I'm having surgery...lol. Try to keep a positive attitude.

Gaga 26, just how old are you to be worried about age? Come on, tell Auntie Frustr8, I will be 73 on Wednesday, didn't let it keep it from persuing and obtaining My Own RnY. Will be 4 months on January 5th, wish I had it at much younger age, but I hadn't had my " Come to Jesus" moment then. But you're at home here with beaucoup friends. Can we help you with your pre-surgical fears or. anything?

Have the surgery, you still can turn 57 in March, but it may be a smaller day of celebration, at least you may be getting smaller. The highlight of my pre-birthday? Waiting for my TPN company to make my supply delivery. UPS isn't working today, so someone from the company itself is driving it up from Columbus, my city is 48 miles NE of there. Had enough through Christmas only. But on the other hand I am not afficted with either my ornery relatives or those of the Late Lamented. And some them are real foodies. Left me with some strange memories, yes they did!

      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.
