Hello,

I am having revision surgery tomorrow. 12/4/191; RNY to SADI.

I saw some research mentioning that this was a better surgery than distalization for weightloss.

My surgeon seems hyped about its ability to cause better weightloss.

I would like to at least get down to 200 lbs which is where I was before my weight regain.

I gained 75 lbs due to living with someone (my mom) who had all kinds of carbs in her house.

Luckily, I found a place near her and did not have to live with her carbs anymore about two years ago.

Since then I have been trying to lose the weight.

I lost about 25 lbs; basically 1 lb a month.

I am 57 years old and thought I would be lying on my death bed in my eighties having just made my goal weight. lol

Now I have this second chance for quicker weightloss.

Wish me luck tomorrow and thank you for your camaraderie!

Woohoo!

Congrats on eliminating sources of temptation and working to take the weight off again. It's so hard--especially at our age!

      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.
