5 Days to go!!!

Ok, 5 days till surgery and I'm finally starting to freak out just a little.  Think it's time to stop watching "Big Medicine"? 

I'm having my RNY at Baylor in Carollton on Monday.  I am going to try to go to the Dallas conference if I can swing the discounted ticket price.     I would love to meet some of yall! 

Any advice for pain management after surgery? 
When did yall start drinking protein shakes?

I had a morphine pump when I woke up but I seldom used it. Used it more for my knees than my stomach! Frankly, I was just sore like doing too many crunches at the gym but no realy pain. I got a prescription for Liquid Lortab for after I got home.

I started drinking the protein drinks regularly during the 2 week pre-op diet. Now post op I have 1 or 2 a day only to get my proteins in.

I'll be at the conference...hope to meet ya!

 Take a deep breath !!!  You will do fine !!!  We who have walked this journey before you will be here for you to encourage and cheer you on to victory !!!   Congratulations and you will do fine.  As for the protein shakes.....I did them for 3 months before my surgery while I was waiting for insurance approval and did them daily after surgery for a very very long time in fact I still do them.
