Don't be so hard on yourself. You are going through alot of different emotions. Also remember that your tastes change after surgery so this may be playing a part. I am from PA.  Please visit the PA board.  There is a lot of support and recipes for different protein drinks. Liz is very creative with her recipes. The ideas they bring to the board will blow your mind!!!!

I have not had surgery yet.  I have my nutrtional evaluation at the end of this month.  Any advise on this would be appreciated.

Good Luck,

Dianna

That is incredible!  I can't wait.  Mine is on the 29th.  I hope to be so lucky.
Keep us posted.

I'm having RNY Sept. 28th, too. Surgery is at 11:15 AM and I have to be at the hospital at 9:15. I am so glad I wasn't put on the schedule so early that I needed to be there before daylight. :) I began a very low-fat "liver shrinking" diet last Monday and had my final pre-op visit yesterday amd they took my official "before" pictures. We are all about to become very successful loosers very soon!

I'm so excited for all of you!  And me too since my surgery is also set for Monday, 9/21.  I can't believe that it is FINALLY here - it always seemed like some distant, unreachable goal.  I'm scared and excited.  I'm glad that so many of us are getting new "birthdays" on the same day!

Hi

I am 3 days post op, had lap RNY...........one thing I was not prepared for is the pain. The gas pain, incisional pain. I thought I was prepared for everything but honestly did not even think about the pain. Which is kind of funny as I am a nurse on a med surg unit taking care of post ops all the time. I stayed in the hospital two nights because we could not get my pain under control. Now that I am fianally passing gas it is getting a little better, and I am sure I will make it through. I just didn't prepare myself as well as I thought. Anyway good luck.
