Hello everyone what a ride it has been.

I spent a year researching bariatric surgery before choosing RNY BYPASS.

my highest weight was 322lbs and I was very unhealthy and probably heading for an early grave.

With a BMI of 43.7

now today after 7.5 months I've managed to hit 170LBS.

that's a total loss of 152lbs in 7.5 months and I think I'm done and in maintenance mode.

I've started adding more variety and carbs into my diet but still being mindful of my Weight.

I'm just so grateful for the bypass it has completely and literally changed my metabolism for the better.

Lately I have indulged here and there on a few squares of chocolate or a Mars Bar or even a cup of icecream without it affecting my weight at all.

it's like I'm a new Man.

thank you all for your ongoing support.

MIKEY

      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.
