Welcome! I'm a huge fan of the premade Premier Protein shakes.

Welcome to the group! Feel free to add! I had RYN May 2016.

Congratulations! You're doing awesome!

Welcome to the group!!

Hi there! Had RNY on 5/2/16! Welcome!

Brownstown, MI Had my surgery (RNY) at Henry Ford Hospital with Dr. Genaw 5'3" HW: 303 (April 2015) SW: 244 (May 2, 2016) CW: 220 GW: 140

I had the same thing happen to me. Trust in the process and make sure you are getting in your protein and fluids, the weight loss will come.

Keep up the great work!

All great suggestions!

I completely empathize with what you are dealing with. My process was very similar. The good thing is the time gave me a chance to learn new, healthier habits and lose some weight so that once I had my surgery I was in a good place both mentally and physically. I had my surgery this past Monday and I am doing great and…

Today is a little better. I've been hungry every day despite how much protein I take in. I'm super nervous and excited about Monday. It seemed so far away before, and then this past month seemed to fly by. I am just hoping everything goes well and I don't regret my decision.

Thanks so much for the support! I think I was just having a moment, lol. I made it through it without cheating and am doing much better today!

Did anyone cheat during their pre-op? Surgery is Monday but I feel so hungry. I would love a chicken shawarma sandwich!

I'm on the pre-op diet as well and I have to agree it is much harder than I anticipated! I just want to eat something solid! Sorry, had to vent.

Welcome!

Welcome!

You all are ROCKSTARS!

Looking great! Keep up the good work!

I appreciate everyone's advice but I have been doing all that stuff. They call me a "rockstar" at the doctor office. I'm already on a 1200-1400 calorie diet. I cut soda out of my life a year ago. I rarely chew gum anymore; I opt for a sugar free mint when needed. I stopped drinking alcohol. I workout twice a week and have…

Another wasteful day at the surgeons office. Sat around for three hours just for them to highlight some information in my binder and give me a surgery date of 5/2/16. If I had a choice, I would go elsewhere. Unfortunately my insurance will only approve this facility. I like the doctor and staff, but their process is…

Thank you both. I hope Friday goes well.

Just got home from my medical clearance appointment that I had to wait SIX weeks for and MAN AM I PISSED! What a waste of my time and money!??! I had my blood work done over a month ago and they emailed me to say everything was normal. I went into the appointment today after taking six hours off of work because they told…

Welcome! :)

Welcome! Feel free to add :)

Congratulations!

Thank you. I am super excited and will be relieved to finally get a surgery date. The medical clearance is holding me up; having to wait six weeks just to get cleared is ridiculous in my opinion. Once that is complete, surgery should be six additional weeks. Hoping for late March or early April.

I JUST GOT THE CALL! INSURANCE AUTHORIZED MY SURGERY!! Now just medical clearance and then surgery can be scheduled!
