Hello Kim,
Hope your surgery went well. I know you are probably still in a little pain?? But if your thinking is like mine, you know that all the pain will be worth it!! Good luck and God Bless!

Topic: My surgery date is Friday, March 18th!!!!
I will be having the RNY procedure done. I am nervous and excited but yet, optimistic! My sister had the same procedure done and the same doctor a year and a half ago. I am so ready for this change. I am tired of hurting!!

Topic: RE: Date changed, but I will be okay!
I hear ya! My original date was 3/1, but I got a phone call the day before that my surgeon slipped on ice and dislocated his shoulder. I could have gone with someone else, or else rescheduled until he's back in action.
I opted for rescheduling mainly because all my friends had this surgeon and I figure the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. It's a bit nerve-wracking to have gone through the liquid diet all the way up to the day before surgery, only to have to go through it all over again, but c'est la vie!

This is so funny, I have to share. I have a whole cabinet full of stuff for my surgery. My kids call it the mommy cabinet. Very cool.. I bought stuff from an online bariatric store. I have 3 large containers of isopure low carb protein powder. (vanilla, chocolate and unflavored) Each serving is 50g of protein. I also bought things like jello, applesauce, pudding-no sugar added. Alot of people have said how good the greek yogurt is so I tried a couple different brands and I found one I like. It has 11g of protein. I also have other things from the bariatric store online- (all include at least 12-15g of protein) juice, oatmeal, pudding, soup, hot chocolate. I bought muscle milk(low carb) in strawberry and chocolate-these are the to-go bottles. I think I am covered for at least 2-3 months as I graduate into different stages. I have done alot of research on prices and flavor. I have heard that your taste changes a little after surgery. A very close friend and I are two weeks apart on surgery dates, so if I dont like something and neither does she we can switch. I did hear that the unflavored isopure does not taste grainy so you can just put it in water to get your protein for the day. Also another thing I have in my cabinet is the generic brand of crystal light singles(different flavors) That way if I want to just put that in a bottle of water with some of the unflavored protein, I can. I hope this helps.
One more thing, I found online a list of things for the hospital. On this list Two things that I will make sure I bring is Gas-x strips and chapstick. They say the Gas-x strips help with the gas feeling after surgery that you have from the air they incert laproscopic. Good luck! I am going in on St. Patty's Day! God Bless, Leslie
