Had a Roux En Y GB yesterday...

Congrats!

Had mine on the 19th, & was so happy to ring in 2017 with a new lease on life.

I didn't see a protein shake til 2 days after my surgery. The evening of I was restricted ice chips. The next morning my nurse brought in a stack of 30ml dosage cups. I was told to drink 20mls every 15 minutes; she poured up the 1st eight, handed me my log sheet & I was off. Twelve hours of that taught me not to take a whole mouthful each time as I was use to doing before my surgery. I've kept to that routine since I've been home & it's working for me. You'll be surprised how soon you settle into your new routine. Just sip & walk as everyone says.
