Hi Everyone,

I'd love to join in as well!  I had RNY on Monday of this week...just 2 days ago!  I'm thankfully feeling pretty good but am still really bloated.  Who knew a burp or toot could come to mean so much!  LOL

I started my pre-op diet yesterday, yesterday was easy sailing, today not so much.  I'm allowed 3 protein shakes, any type as long as its:90-50 calories per serving, 13-25 g of protein, and no more than 5 g of carbs or fat. Also, 1 cup of non- starchy vegetables, 1 cup of skim or 1% milk, 8 oz of light yogurt, or 1/2 cup reduced fat cottage cheese, limited to 3 servings/day. Drink 64 oz of water and may consume these between meals: water, decaf tea/coffee, crystal light, clear broth, sugar free gelatin, Powerade 0, and sugar free Popsicles.  Because I don't eat yogurt/ cottage cheese and was afraid of starving to death, my rd added 2oz chicken/tuna,  and eggs, also limited to 3 servings/day.

I am sooo hungry, i think because i didn't get much water in. , I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow! 

Your's is 100X more flexible than ours.  But, they are letting us have 2cups celery a day to chew on.  (they didn't let us have this back when I was banded sure helps)

Your doing great!

Started my pre surgery liquid diet yesterday...I can have 4 to 5 no sugar added Carnation Instant Breakfasts a day. If I only have 4 I can substitute the 5th one for a low fat SF yogurt (without fruit in it), a SF pudding cup, or 1 cup of creamed soup (with no chunks in it). Day before surgery (which is this coming Monday its ALL clear liquids I can have all the jello, sugar free popcicles (nothing red though) and beef or chicken broth. So far the first 2 days have been a breeze. I always have a bottle of water close by to sip on. I think that is part of what is helping me to have that full feeling. I did have to call my surgeons office today, because since I started liquids yesterday my jaw muscles are kind of achy...The nurse said it was most likely because I have not been using those muscles to chew anything. I really haven't even thought about "real" food. I actually saw a commercial yesterday for the McRib sandwich and my stomach did a flip flop (not the hungry kind either). Since today was garbage day, last night I pretty much emptied the fridge and freezer with the exception of the things that my DH eats. He has irritable bowel so he is ona special diet, and I don't like to foods he eats. Now I have no temptations in the house. We got rid of all the sweets over the weekend, and the only kind of snacky type things we have now are pretzel rods and I don't eat them because they hurt my mouth, so no worries about me trying to eat those....I am doing this by the book I have been waiting over a year for this (I currently have the band but have had MANY complications with it) and I am revising to bypass. I don't want anything to get  in the way of me having surgery, so therefore I am following the instructions to the letter. I do have one worry..when they did my pre surgery blood work up they found I had a UTI (didn't have any symptoms) and because of that my WBC count was elevated. I was put on Cipro 500 mg twice a day for 3 days. I went yesteday and had it rechecked. It's still slightly elevated so I am back on antibiotics until Thursday. I am freaking out and praying that is continues to go down..I don't want to have to wait again to have surgery scheduled...

What are you revising to?
