My big day for becoming little is this coming Thursday. What would you suggest that I bring to the hospital? I'll be at EMMC. What shouldn't I bring?
Thanks!

It took awhile for it to show at all on me, probably 4-6 weeks. Then it doesn't feel like it changes as rapidly after that. I am 3.5 months out. I started bigger though, so it may just take longer to show because of my starting size.
I have a son with autism too -- Asperger's specifically, while that is still a diagnosis.

It sounds like you're doing great Tami! The first few weeks it seems like it's a full time job to get in all your protein and fluids, but it does get easier. Just keep doing what you're doing and all will be well.
Topic: RE: Day 6
I've been doing several diff. protein shakes. I have some New Lifestyle ones left over from a previous liquid diet attempt and those I like a lot. They do have more carbs than is recommended 7 but they go down easy, have 14 grams of protein and only 100 calories so the nutritionist wasn't concerned, especially for the beginning. I also have tried some unjury with milk which was ok but not delicious. I have tried about 100 different premixed kinds, both samples and some my dh bought (he's 5 yrs out from RNY and trying to "behave" again with me) and I hate them all. I tried some isopure grape this morning and it tasted ok but I only got about half down and it's sitting like a rock for the past 3 hours, not sure why. I feel very bloated today and bought some gas x strips, I feel like I'd feel a lot better if I could let out a huge burp! Very tired from my errands with my daughter but now I'm home and can relax. I can't take any pain meds till dh gets home but if I sit or lay down it's ok. All in all I'm still doing well, it's hard for me to sit still.
