I am doing pretty good. I was feeling great the last two weeks but in the last few days I have not been able to eat much due to everything seeming to go right through me. I have heard this is normal as your body adjusts to the food intake. Seems I can't more than a few bites without the ole...

My doctor does have a quick turn around for surgery and hospital stays. Most people are in there for only one night and are sent home with blood thinners and pain meds. We are told to start Diet Stage 2 when we come home but I seem to only be able to drink water or Crystal light and have a...

Hello everyone! I had my surgery on March 7th and when I awoke was surprised to find that I had a few complications during surgery. I had a hernia that they had to repair, twisted bowels they had to straighten and scar tissue from previous surgery that they had to take out. I was in a great...

The liquid diet was hard at the beginning, especially when I craved something more like a piece of meat but now it's getting a little easier. I have discovered that cream of chicken and cream of potato soups are not half bad! Tomorrow starts my bowel prep which means just clear liquids like...

Hi Donna, Yes I was suppose to lose 10% of my weight while going to my required 6 months of nutrition appointments. There was a mess-up in one of my test results so while I was waiting for them to figure it out (which took 5 months) I gained some weight back and had to do a liquid diet the last...

Hey Pat, how are you doing? I have my surgery Wednesday and was checking in to see how yours went! Best wishes, Aly

I am scheduled for surgery on March 7th and I must admit I am getting scared and nervous and worried. I have friends that have had the surgery and they tell me that the first 2 weeks is extremely difficult. I don't want to back out now after all the testing and hard work that I have done to...

My insurance company required 6 months of nutritionist appointments before you could submit for surgery approval. I completed all that plus my blood work, sleep apnia testing, ultrasounds of legs, ekg and a whole lot of other tests that my doctor requires(they are very, very thorough) and after...

It has been really tough staying on the liquid diet. I've actually slipped in a salad for dinner twice just for some sort of roughage. I'm 8 days away from surgery today so from here on out it will be just protein shakes and jello. Just hard trying to ignore the hunger pains!

Thanks for the support! My doctor recommends adding an unflavored protein powder to things like sugar-free pudding to ensure that I get the amount of protein a day they suggest which is around 70grams. The hunger level right now during my liquid diet is horrible so I am trying to find some way...

Hi Pat, I am doing the pre-surgery liquid diet also, my surgery is scheduled for March 7th so I have to do the liquid diet for 2 weeks. My last meal was jambalaya with smoked sausage. Most people cannot tolerate spicy foods after RNY so that is why I chose that. The liquid diet is EXTREMELY...

Hello all, :D I am schedule for the Roux-N-Y gastric bypass on March 7th and am getting pretty nerved up! I am on a liquid diet (which is already starting to suck!) until my surgery because I was not able to lose enough weight during my waiting period. I have a few friends that have had the...
