June people let us keep in touch! This is a big step for me to have RNY....I am sure you all feel the same.  I can not wait to ride my bike again and get rid of my sleep apnea!

Thanks!!  I am hanging in there...almost there    I wish you the best!

I have not tried these yet, but today I found a product called "Protein 2GO" the grocery store I was in was clearancing the flavors I bought for new flavors and I got them for $3.24 a box!!  But it is whey protein and depending on the flavor you get depends on the amount of protein, but they are 5-10g each and you add to a bottle of water like Crystal Lite packets.  I figure these will be great for post-op to help get in as much protein as I can while I am sip, sip, sipping away on my water.  (1g of sugar)  If you have a Publix store in your area you may look over in the vitamins/diet foods section and they were there on clearance along with some cans of protein powder for $3.24 each.  I scored, just hope I like and can tolerate post-op!  If I can't do the plain shake w/them I can use them for shake recipes and add other things to it to mask the flavor...hopefully.  ha ha

hiya. you certainly are doing a lot better than I am. Good job.

I can hardly get30 to 40ozs down. Sometimes 20. Can not stand the taste of anything. I was doing great in the hospital. So much gas. I walk and walk and walk.. Can't wait till this week is over and the gas is gone.

 any tips?

Well, I've been on liquid diet since the 10th of June.  I had some diarrhea but I mostly pee all day.  I though I had lost 22lbs Think my digital scale was messed up.  But I got a regular scale and it was on about 7lbs.  Oh what a disappointment.  But I stayed on the right path. 

Yesterday  my hands had swollen up. I think it came from all the broth I had been drinking.  So on Sunday I will be on clear liquid.  Very little broth for me for the rest of my days. 

I lost inches, but no real weight.  I've been drinking water 64-100 oz a day.  My tummy has gone down some.  So I'm thinking that my liver is shrinking.

I will know on Thursday.
