Nov 4th Team...any takers

Hello all.  Surgery (Lap RNY) all set.  Hoping to meet some people to share my journey with.  Feel free to drop me a note!

I'm in day 4 of liquid diet, and it's a struggle.   Looking forward to not feeling hungry all the time!  

Hi Karen, congrats
I feel your pain I'm in day 6 of my 2wk liquid diet. Nov 3 is my surgery day. first three where the hardest so far. Day 5 and 6 for me I have not been hungry so I have be forcing myself to drink my shakes.

Hi all,

Congrats on your surgery dates and good luck with everything.  My surgery is on Nov 19th so I don't start my liquid diet until Nov. 12th.  I just hope I'm able to stick to it...  

 Well, I made it through Day 5 without too much trouble.  I did break down and have some boullion in the afternoon and sugar free ice pop at night.  But still nothing to chew...

That may be what is the hardest for me.  Not actually EATING.  The whole process!  I am learning that I am not as hungry as I think I am, and if I can keep busy, the hunger pangs go away for a little while.  I wish you both luck and hope to see here again.  I love hearing other people's journeys. 

Peace, Karen

Hi, I am having my RNY on 11/4/09. I am to on a protein diet, with a salad with chicken in between and 2 apples..Its going ok, I have some tough days though

 Wish I had your Doctor.  Everyone I've talked to has been able to at least drink boullion, have sugar free jelllo and popsicles.  And you are actually allowed to eat!  LOL.  Oh well, I guess they all have their own methods and reasons....

Good luck on your surgery.  Keep in touch!  

I am having mine also on the 4th,, I am 5 days into the liquid it has not been to bad, I am not really hungry

Hi....my date is 11/04.  No liquid diet for me....I'm so glad.  My dr put me on a low carb...no junk or sweets...which I gave those up last month along with my diet sodas. 

Take care and good luck

My date is Nov 5, I am so excited I will be having the "LAPBAND"

Just know you are not alone. There's a lot of people drinking this crap, but this is the start of a beautiful journey.Hang in there it anit over till thefat lady sings....
