Hi - Just got home today - totally beat !!! What is your post op diet - I am on phase 2 until Fri.. Which is liquids only and protein shakes... not hungry at all ... How are you doing ?

Had RNY on Oct 21 st my left side hurts and I have not had a BM yet hoping to feel better soon.

I bought some unflavored protein powder from Walmart. Maybe that would work if you added it to a clear liquid like crystal light, broth or low cal juice. Maybe they want you to do regular protein drinks until 2 days pre-op. I am on 10 days of protein shakes 3x  a day and one small meal of 3 oz. protein, whole grain carb and vegetable. I don't know if I will be on clear liquids pre-o*****t. I go in Monday morning for my pre-op appt. and I'm sure they will tell me then. Good luck with your surgery.

Hi!  I'm also having surgery on the 29th.

we have 6 more days to go..Best of luck!

Good luck today.  I will be joining you in a few hours.  When I first looked into WLS it was only because of the lapband.  I never would of thought i would get a RNY. but now i love the idea and am super excited. i can't wait for my new life.  i already lost 17 pds on the liquid diet in 2 weeks (well it help i cleared my bowels last night). I am 258....yeah...only a few more pds and i will fit into my wedding ring.  we are in the same boat with the kids ages and having a puppy.  my husband works 15 hr days so he is no help. i having him staying home monday morning to get the kids to school. other than that i am on my own. i'm sure if i am really bad off he will leave later everyday (he leaves at5:30am).  Anyways, I am so happy for you and things are going to go really well and life will be good!!!! Take care
