Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass    |  2 Week Pre-Op Liquid Diet Hi, I am on day 5 of my 2 week liquid diet...omg, the first 3 days were easy, but it is getting harder and harder, I think. I have been doing this everyday and sticking to it. I lost 5 pounds in the first 3 days and and have been there for the last 2. It is kind of depressing to me, because I feel like I should be losing some everyday. Am I wrong? I have a Carnations SF Instant Breakfast shake every morning and and cup of broth or Campbell's cream soup to go for lunch. I am getting less than 400 calories before I have my dinner. I look so forward to dinner every night...I had a baked Chicken Breast and salad last night. I do notice that in the mornings I have to make myself do the shake, but the afternoon I get so weak and hungry. Tonight will be a hamburger patty (without the bun) and salad. I absolutely love the Spring Mix salad kit. Last edited by kimtindall : 07-26-2007 at 05:18 PM. |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Hi Bree, I am not sure, but I got a call from the surgeons office and an email telling that I had to replace my morning and noon meal with liquid and have a normal evening meal. I don't know why they want it that way, but I am doing like they ask, I just don't want anything to mess it up for me on my pre-op next week. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | good job so far! dont get discouraged about the weight loss. you are doing fine. i didnt have to do this liquid thing and to behonest i dont think i could have so I have to give all the people that have been required to do this LOTS of credit for having the strength and willpower to stick to it. CONGRATULATIONS!!! oh and also, i ve seen quite a few versions of the liquid diet out there. so just remember to follow what the doc ordered and you WILL be a success

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I was one of the "fortunate" ones that had to do a 10 day CLEAR liquid diet. Lemme tell ya, it wasn't easy. Plus, on top of that I was quitting smoking too. But I was SO nervous about getting the surgery, that I NEVER cheated once with it. I think my fear was so great, and THAT is what kept me on track. PLUS the day before I started the diet, I had went to urgent care for strep throat! So I REALLY felt cheated on not being able to have my "last supper" lol But I made it thru and have NOT regretted one moment of it!!! Just do what you have to do, FOR YOU!! You're doing a GREAT job this far!!! Good luck in your journey! |

| Super Moderator  | ((((((HUGS)))))) Your weight won't come off in a slope, it will come off in bumps and humps--like a staircase. You're doing fine, hang in there,

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Thanks guys, I really do appreciate all of your energy and encouragment! It is people like you who make these boards worth using! I am staying with this, I know that I have to. I think that I will stick with the Carnation Instant Breakfast, because I am really enjoying them. The kids don't even know that they are the DREDDED Sugar Free! HAHA. I hope that I have the same luck that all of you are having after the surgery. I know that I will be spending a lot of time on here after the surgery. I am a "keep busy" kind of person, so the being out of work for 6 weeks is going to drive me NUTS! I am now trying all different protein powders to find the one tha likes me! So far I would have to say unjury. I tried the sample from bariatric edge in the bottle and well, I mixed it took a sip and hurrily put it back in the fridge...BLAHHH! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I had to do a pre-op diet that had nothing but liquid and even with that I did not loose as much weight as you would have thought. I think I may have lost 12 pounds, and I did not cheat. Hang in there and do what your doc has instructed you to do and you will be fine. Roz

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Hi Roz, This preop is the worst!!! The liquid diet, the waiting in anticipation for the surgery date. I am actually being very good and diligent in the whole process. Thank you for the support, it really means a lot. You guys ROCK! |
