329 lb. man has active day on 232 calories!
Today I start clear liquids for two days before RNY. I drank the pre-op prep liquid to "clean me out" at 7:45 AM. Lucky for me.. the doc only said I had to drink one quart. When I had a colonscopy I had to drink the whole gallon.
About 45 mins later l began my trips to the bathroom. I was going about every ten mins or so... Then it slowed down. I became very tired around 11:30 and took a nap (hoping I wouldn't wake up to an underwear accident). But I was OK.
By the way. If you never had to drink "The Prep".. here's a tip. If you "think" you might have to go the bathroom... GO TO THE BATHROOM NOW!
I drank 14 oz of chicken broth this morning and 24 oz of G2 Low Cal Gatorade.
By 1PM I felt secure enough to go grocery shopping. I hit about three stores..
When I got home I had 8 oz of low sodium chicken broth.
Then I went out to cut the lawn. During that time I drank another 24 oz of G2 Low cal Gatorade.
When I came in, I had a container of Sugar Free Jello.
By the way, I am not eating Red colored G2 or red jello under doctor's orders since surgery is less than two days away, he doesn't any colors that could be confused with blood.
So far today, I have eaten only 212 Calories and 64 oz of water in addition to the other liquids.
My wife and I went for a leisurely 45 minute walk with our Golden Retriever. Then we watched the sun set on the last Saturday of Summer. Life is good.
I had another cup of Low Sodium chicken broth when I got home. There isn't a lot of taste, but the warm broth feels good in my mouth.
A few weeks ago, I would tell you that you were crazy if you said that a 329 pound man could do all I did today on 232 Calories without feeling dizzy, weak, or passing out.

Dang, from the pic I thought you were post-op .. You don't look heavy enough for WLS, esp. RNY .. You're 330 lbs.??? What is your /BMI?
