I'm new here!
Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. I am Susan, and I just recently had my RNY surgery, on 3/16/16. I had some struggles in the hospital. Found out I was anemic the day I came in for my surgery, and the day after, they had to give me 2 pts of blood (I was so weak I could barely move)...that was kindof icky, but alas, I finally got out of the hospital. I am still struggling with anemia--don't know why, but am seeing my doc to find out. In the mean time, I am on Iron to maintain. I have noticed (by creeping and reading posts) that all docs suggest different diets...and progressions. My doc said to focus on the protein, then add more...so I pretty much don't get much past the protein, but have added some green beans, and am not enjoying a salad again! :) I feel very accomplished with the weight loss! Looking forward to all the wonderful info here!
Lets see if I can do this right....
