Hi and welcome! That's what I've been doing as well so the liquid diet won't be such a shock -- although I know I will still be hungry as heck. I've been getting in some unexpected practice due to being in the middle of a root canal... ugh....

Yeah, that's a bit different that you are going thru your primary doctor for your weigh-ins -- I guess it depends upon your insurance plan. My primary referred me to the surgeon's office for a colonoscopy and endoscopy and then his office followed up with me and asked me if I was interested in having the surgery.

I'm taking off 3 weeks. I have a desk job, but I do have to travel 5 and 6 weeks afterward. So I have to see about that.

This is true too. Some may think you are ill if you lose weight too fast. Personally, I have decided that I'm not going to give a care what they think. I'm going to live large! (Well, not literally, heh.)

Some people get a bit jealous I think, but no worries! You know and WE know and you are doing great!

Hi fellow RNYs! My date is March 17th and I was approved in January. I probably could have had it in February, but they couldn't catch up with me. BCBS-Fed.

I know, right?

I will still be 61 when I have my RNY March 17th, just a few days before my birthday. The skin and boobies issues are things I'm not looking forward to though...

Hi. That protocol is similar to mine, except that I met with the surgeon on my first visit (haven't seen him since though). I had 3 weight check ins which amounts to the 90 day minimum required for my insurance. It sounds like your insurance requires 6 months. In addition to the nutritional consultation and psych eval, I had to have an endoscopy, EKG, and blood work. My regular physician had me do an echo, bone density, colonoscopy, and sleep study earlier last year (part of her baselining me - over 60). I also had a kidney work up, so I'm done. That's what happens when your primary doctor is a teaching physician...

Great! Let us know.

I wouldn't eat any peanuts for one thing. Your system probably can't handle it. I was told that nuts is a no no after RNY. I would go back to post op foods until you find out and stay hydrated.

Scroll up and you will find my post of the buddies.
