hey kelli, glad your not feeling too bad. I had the surgery the 10th, and to be honest i am not feeling as well as i think that i should be, but i think most of it is that i am not getting enough liquids in. think i am getting dehydrated, trying to push the water but i can't seem to take it. I tried the crystal lite today, didn't think that i wanted it either but i thought that it couldnt really hurt. Well i will tell you i have already doubled what i was drinking in water. Give it a try might be just what you need. The other thing i wanted to tell you is that for the 1st week the only think i can eat is the SUGAR FREE jello, broth, and water or crystal light. I of course would talk to your dr to make sure because i can tell you that the same surgery has lots of different variations with the differnet programs. But good luck let me know how you make out

Hi Vikki, It's Kristy, we need to cry together, You can call me any time, our surgery is the same day, I got your message and I just posted something on the main, rny, and 50 over BMI Board about if I go over 375, My surgery is canceled! Kristy

I had my RNY on the 2nd of October and have found that the easiest protein for me has been EAS AdvantEdge Protein Shake. It has 17 grams of protein, 3 fats, 4 carbs, and only 110 calories. It's not as thick as the protein powder drinks I had tried to make up in the blender so I can get more down so it helps me.

Hi Kristi- How is the liquid diet going.. My doctor has me down to 850 calories a day and I am feeling very tired and weak - it is very hard - I am trying to be at work to help the time (I am a teacher) but not sure if I can make the week. My pre-op is tomorrow so maybe I will get a break and will be able to finish out the week. Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers Vikki

Congradulations and GOD Bless you and your surgery. Mine is tomorrow just keep me in your prayers.
