I'm scheduled for the same day and now that its so close I am feeling a bit nervous as well.  I think when you get down to being days away from the surgery the reality of it sinks in!  You'll definitely be in my prayers!  We'll be fine.. better than fine!

hi,

i had my RNY on 9/9/09.... and i have not been able to get in my protein. my husband is really getting pissed at me because i cant stand the taste. I have brought a few that i just cant get it down. i cant mix it with anything yet... so i feel like I'm up ****s creek..... i know that i need the protein for some reason or another... PLEASE HELP ME.....  I'm almost at the point where i wish i had never done the surgery...

hey girl i dont start mine until next week but i have some great ideas that I am hoping to have!  Let me know if you have IM and we can chat about puree ideas.

I've talked to my surgeon about the Atkins drinks and his exact words were "As long as you are getting your protein in, I don't care how it gets there." I have the whey protein I add to my soups and stuff, but right now there are times when I just want a drink and it helps with that. I'm not using just Atkins for the source of my protein and I can see where it would be a huge problem if that was my ONLY source. So, I allow myself one a day, usually at breakfast to get me going and then I'm up and running the rest of the day with the whey.

So far...so good. If they tell me there is a problem in the future, then I'll switch up, but until then...I'm staying put....LOL.

The cappucino does sound good though. I may try that one next pay day!

please dont cry let me tell u what happened to me.i had my surgery on the 16th but only half.half way through they had to glue me up and stop surgery because i had a scarred liver. talk about dissapointment when i came to.so take care and be glad they find anything before hand. god bless you sue
