New Here - Intro & Surgery Date Set - 7/21

[CarmenP 52]

Hello all,

I'm new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself.

My name is Carmen. I'm a 37 year old wife and mommy of 2. I have struggled with weight for the last 15 years, going up and down with no success at KEEPING it off.

I finally bowed to my PCP's advice, sought out a bariatric specialist, and after giving it several months of thought, decided to proceed with a RNY Bypass.

I've done a ton of reading, both about the medical details and individual people's experiences. As I told my surgeon, I'm 50% excited and 50% nervous.

The hardest part has been the last few days of just liquid/shakes. I'm so hungry, I can't even sleep at night. And I still have 4 days to go!

Anyway, this forum was highly rated, and I'm very happy to be here to share, learn and participate in this journey with all of you!

Thanks for letting me babble.

Carmen

Welcome Carmen! You picked a great place, lots of really wonderful people on the site. Are you only able to have Clear Liquids or can you do strained cream Soups? If so, I found Campbell's cream of potato Soup (strained and made with milk) really curbed the hunger. Good luck!

Hi Angel!

I'm currently able to "eat":

broth

Protein shakes

Popsicles

Jello

Low-Fat/Fat-Free Cream Soups

I have tried any and all combos, and for around 75% of the day, I'm ok, but around 6-7pm I get RAVENOUS - and nothing makes the hunger abate. It's really awful and follows me to bed, keeping me up at night!

I only have 2 days left, so I figure I'll just push through. Hopefully, I will come out on the other side eating the same things, I'm smaller portions, without feeling so darn hungry.
