Topic: RE: Prep????
My surgeon has no pre-op diet, other than 2 weeks prior to surgery - have your last 'feast' and try to eat healthy after that. The day before surgery he wants us to eat light meals, and nothing after midnight - drink lots of water, but no bowel prep. He's done hundereds of these, so I trust him.
Topic: RE: RU Exercising to GET READY????
Yesssss! I'm actually kind of sad, because I've come to love the gym, and my surgeon says, because of my open RNY I can't do anything but walk for at least 3 months. I am hoping to talk him in to letting me do some stuff early - if I'm well enough of course. I'm really getting excited the 12th is my day. Exercise everyone! (if you can) you'll heal so much better!
