February 8th - RNY

February 8th is my surgery date...have been on pre-op diet for a little over a week now and already down 9 pounds.  Still in the nervous phase where I can't quite believe it's happening as it's been such a long journey.  Still need to go shopping for the "hospital" items and get them packed...maybe then it will finally set in and the excitement can begin!

Does anyone know if you're supposed to start your protein supplements right away once home from the hospital?  Has anyone found any suppliers that sell sample sizes?  Don't want to have to buy those big, huge bottles of it if I can't tolerate it later.

Good luck to all my February peeps!!!

 

I was told yes protein starts as soon as you get home infact its part of my 2week pre-op liquid diet so I am already consuming it.  Vitalady.com sells a nice sample package.  Good Luck and I'll join u on the losers bench on the 15th.
