I had my RNY on 11/05. I feel like I am doing really well. I am down about 14 lbs. I struggle getting enough Protein every day. My Dr wants 60-90 grams per day. I am typically on the lower end of that. I am able to get my Fluid in although not drinking 30 min before and waiting for 30 minutes after is always a challenge. I go back for my 1 month check up this week. Looking forward to getting my lab work results. Hopefully everything is on track. How are you doing since surgery?

RNY was on 11/6. So far so good. Slower progress than wha I hoped at 21 pounds down. But, I try to remember that it takes a 3500 calories deficit to loose a pound. That is about 18K calories in a week. I’ll take it.

Hope everyone else in the Nov 3rd week is doing well also.

Hi there. I had my RNY on 11/5 and I'm doing well for the most part. However, if I eat too much, or eat something my tummy isn't ready for, I pay the price. I'm learning to take things a bit slower and am adding just one food at a time to see how it goes. I've had trouble when I try to eat ground beef, chicken or fish (shrimp is okay). I'll try those foods again after the first of the year and then have just a very small amount to start out. I'm down about 20 pounds from my surgery date. I love the fact that my clothes are feeling looser! I cleaned some clothes out of my closet today and took them to Goodwill. That felt good! How are you doing since your surgery?

      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.
