Topic: RE: Post Op 11/20 and Home!
Me too! I came home Thursday afternoon. I was told by my surgeon that I will NOT be able to get in all the protein the first few days and that's normal; however, I should keep trying. Yesterday I did the best yet - about 50g. I feel like I'm working on it all day, between the water and the protein - I was told, "your job is to drink water." But so far, so good.

I had surgery on 11*12-07 and i am requestng my doctor 2 alow me to take 8 weeks. Even though a lot of people at my job that had RYN came back in 2 weeks, I am just too exhausted and I would like 2 take my time w/o the stress of work.
Topic: Post Op 11/20 and Home!
Hi all,
I have been home since Wednesday night and things are going well. But I cannot get in all my protein. My stomach is full. Who would have thought I would ever say those words? Any of you newbies having trouble? I am still in the post op liquid diet but it is so hard to drink all that is required. Should I put double scoops of protein in one drink? Any suggestions?
Also, pre-op I lost 9lbs and post op I have lost 6; so 15 lbs in 3 weeks. I cannot believe it.

April,
I had RNY on the 13th and have yet to have a bowel movement. I don't feel any discomfort and just assumed that it was because I've only been drinking liquids. I was given Colace as a prescription right out of the hospital and that hasn't done much for me! If you feel discomfort I would definately give your doctor a call! good Luck!

Hi Christa!
I was actually prescribed Colace after surgery. I had RNY on the 13th. It helped a lot! Hope this helps, Julie
