RNY Monday and Scared to expect the unexpected!!

I am having my surgery Mon. so far I am not well with this liquid thingy for the week. Its been hard for me, not sure why either!! I am soo scared I will crave the foods I love and not be able to eat them, almost like being hungry and there is no food. I hope I do not want to eat or get that hunger feeling. I am soo scared yet excited. I am almost walking like a zombie not sure what to expect. I want this soo bad and I will do it, i am 100lbs over weight and need to feel good. But its the thought of everything passing my mind all together at once! I still have not found any protein shakes, any ideas?

Hang in there, I know it is tough, I had my surgery 2 weeks Monday.  Sat. and Sunday were just horrible, water and clear broth, I know.  BUT Monday morning after surgery you will be fine, I was a walking bag of donoughts! LOL   You are only head hungry beleive me. You crave only your favorate foods.   Nectar protein it is the best .  I am 2 weeks out and 20 lbs down. Good Luck

Thanks what is the nectar protein? where do you buy it? 

I bought mine at a store called The Vitamine Shoppe, or check out a GNC, whatever type you buy get one that is isolate it absorbs 99% into you.  If your Dr. didnt set you straight with all this stuff I would question his practice of Surgery.  Mine made me go through Psych evals, group support meetings, then made me bring in 3 months supply of protein and vitamins and citracel D. It is not to late to back out.  I went through a 5 month wait

Bet Wishes Laura ! I m right behind you with surgery this Thursday.

Good Luck, Stay positive!!

I found some good protein shakes at http://optimumnutrition.com/ - they have a variety pack of flavors and are pretty tasty.  I've heard you can also find this brand at GNC. 
I've been doing the pre-surg liquid diet for 8 days, have 6 days to go before surgery.  I was pretty nervous about "starving" but I'm finding that if I use about 80 grams of protein per day I feel pretty good.

Good luck with surgery!! 

Its been 7 days since the RNY, I till feel sick, nauseated, grawling hungry feeling and constant heachaches... I am drinking about 16oz of lemon crystal light and 12oz pro. shakes, I also have a terrible taste in my mouth that does not go away!! So far I am having a terrible time with this? all these liquids are killing me, I feel like I need some healthy food!! I did not expect to feel so sick!! Anyone have and ideas or thoughts that might help??
Thanks
