Topic: RE: December 9th Lap RNY
Pureed foods at 8 days post op?!?!?!? I was put on a total liquid diet for 21 days. The first 5 or 6 days was ok but now I am hungry all the time. I drink 2 ozs. of a protein drink at the top of every hour and 2 oz. of liquid every 15 minutes during waking hours.

Ladies,
Being believers, you'll both appreciate this:
As I was driving to my initial consultation with the surgeon, I was praying for God's will to be done, but also for it to be clear to me. I had to have surgery by the end of the year because my insurance is changing 1/1/11 and it will no longer be covered. And was really fretting the he wouldn't be able to fit me in.
When the surgeon asked when I would like the surgery, I said "your medical assistant said you have 12/20 open". He said "yes, the guy who was supposed to have surgery that day rescheduled this morning.'
WOW! Talk about making things clear for me!
Then I said "well now we know why, the date was being saved for me!" He said "actually I think it was something to do with his wife's work schedule." I said "that's what he thinks...." :D

Topic: December 9th Lap RNY
Hi there. I am new to this board. I had been posting on thinnertimesforum.com. I had Lap RNY on 12/9 at Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville, NY. I am 8 days post op and I believe I am doing well. I am tolerating pureed foods well and getting some walks in. How is everyone else doing?
Topic: RE: pre-op diets differ?
Mine is strictly protein shakes by Bariatric Advantage. Have been on them 8 days and have 4 days to go. Clear fluids the day before surgery, plus the lovely bottle of magnesium calcite I have to drink down -- not looking forward to that one bit!
Not a big fan of the protein shakes, but figure I can bite the bullet and get them down for the end result.

Topic: Dec. 22
Vacillating between excitement and sheer terror, partly fueled by the long list of potential complications listed on the sheet given to me at my pre-admit. appointment. I know they have to list everything just in case, but I found myself looking everything up online to see what it was.
Luckily, I'm confident in my surgeon. Even emailed him with a long list of questions along the lines of "what if this happens," "what's the likelihood of this happening,", etc. He emailed me back within 2 hours!
Anyone else starting to hyperventilate a little?

Topic: RE: 2 days post-op
I am 5 days post op, and i've lost my energy. although all the pain and discomfort has gone away. Unfortanely, i'm craving crackers, and eggs!? what is that!?
so of course yes i tried a cracker and a bite of an egg, and i did ok. but then that fullness came along with it so i was done. It's helped a bit i can tell. drinking anything still hits my stomach like a pile of rocks. Nothing goes down easy.
Yes every day does get better but you will have a few days in there where you just want to rest. i'm a fast healer and all my energy is gone to that.

Topic: pre-op diets differ?
I have been creeping around looking at other peoples posts regarding the pre-op diet. I am curious because apparently there are different pre-op diets (probably dependent on the physician's preference and/or BMI). I am 40 BMI and Dr. Almanza.
I am on mostly clear liquids, sugar free juice, yogurt and jello. No solids whatsoever. The jello helps me feel like I'm "eating" something. I am dying for something different, especially since I know I'll be so limited after surgery. At this point, chicken noodle soup sounds so yummy. I guess that it's the knowing that I'm not supposed to have it thats driving me nuts.
I tried a muscle milk protein shake yesterday. OMG... that has to be the grossest thing I've ever had. ick ick ick.
