Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  Hello All! Hi Everyone!!! I am a newbie. Just joined yesterday. Wish I had found this site sooner! After years of the roller-coaster rides battling my weight  I am finally going in for surgery!  I am tentatively scheduled for September 28th, 2007 and I can't wait! My mom just had the surgery 3 months ago and is doing incredible! I can only hope the same will be true for me! I have spent a few hours looking through the posts here and I have to say that I think everyone here is wonderful! You all seem very supportive and have great ideas/experiences to offer!  Unfortunately, since starting on this journey to surgery I have not been able to lose any weight but instead have gained more! I have changed my eating habits and I am eating alot more fruit and veggies. I've tried several of the protein shakes and I pretty much like them all. I drink water constantly (i know i exceed the recommended 64oz a day!)Any tips on breaking through this plateau would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

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 Hope, It gets very stressful in the pre-op phase when you are trying to lose that weight for the surgery. I think that I only lost 6lbs during my 2 weeks, even though I was extremely focused and was faithful. Just dont let it get you down. Are you doing the liquid diet prior to surgery? I wish you the best of luck! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Hi Kim! Stressful? Yes! Depressing? Definitely! Now throw in a little anxiety on top of it all and you have ME!! I am not required to do the liquid diet before surgery. I see a nutritionist once a month and just modify my diet each time. I have considered doing the liquid diet just to get some weight off to help the surgeon. Even though I know that my surgery is right around the corner, it is still very stressful to step on the scale and weigh in heavier than when I started. I know that the more I lose pre-surgery, the easier it will be to reach my goal weight. Any suggestions?

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | welcome to the boards. You've come to a very special place congrats on getting a date. I wasnt required to lose anything pre-op so i wouldnt be able to tell you how to even go about that. I am sure no matter which methos you choose, you will do well.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Well, I had a SF Carnations breakfast in the mornings, a sf pudding cup for a snack and Slim Fast or Atkins shake for lunch and dinner was low carb/fat and high protein meal. That seemed to do what they wanted! It was horrible for the first 3-4 days, but once I got past that, it was smooth sailing. And the protein powders, dont buy too many of them pre-op as your taste will surely change post-op. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Oh, you are welcome...that is what we are all here for. That worked out really well for me and I was so looking forward to dinner each and every evening! I also ate SF Jello throughout the day if I felt that I was hungry. Ate so much of that, that I can no longer eat it! LOLOL |
