Upcoming surgery

Hi all, I'm new to all of this, but would like to ask for prayer for my surgery on Friday, June 29th. I"m getting a little anxious, but I'm still hanging in there. I KNOW I can do this and if anyone that has had the R-N-Y has any help, ya'll please let me know. I'm doing pretty good with the liquid diet so far, it's actually not as bad as I thought, only bad thing is the smell of the protein powder. YUCK!! Janet

You'll be in my prayers Janet ((((hugs))) I had mine on Thursday, and if it helps to know, the day after you'll feel so much better than the day before, and you won't even care about food afterwards. I found that mixing the protein, water, and some ice in the blender gave it a very nice consistency, more milk shake like. You'll do WONDERFULLY and there's plenty of room on the loser's bench xoxo Colleen

Hey Janet- Congrats on your upcoming surgery! Everything is going to go great! Only piece of advice I can give is walk, walk , walk in the hospital, it really helps with the gas build up. Take care!

Hi Janet, You are going to do great! Had my RNY June 14th and believe me, things get better and more normal each day. Just do like Pam says, and walk, walk, walk. Also, you want to sip, sip, sip so you can get in all of your fluids. It takes a little work. Congratulations on your surgery date! Mary
