I really wish we were not military!!!
Called to attempt to get my 3 month appt and have now been told, I cant see the DR until I am well over 4 months out.
So can anyone tell me what to expect these next couple of months or what I am supposed to be doing because I definately have no direction from the Doctor.... Any advice is greatly needed and appreciated.

Im assuming you have advanced your diet to regular food now?    Just keep doing what you're doing.  Eat high protein, low carbs, drink plenty of fluids, take your vitamins faithfully, and exercise if you're allowed.  Ohhh, and watch the weight fall off   :)   Good luck!   Cindy

Thank you cindy, That is what I was thinking too but sometimes I like reassurance from the doc to make sure I am still on track. I am on normal foods and will just plan accordingly.

What vitamins are you on now? If you tell me Flintstones and calcium carbonate, I'm going to shoot your doc so you won't have to worry about seeing him at all!

Gina,
Start shooting. I am only taking the flinstones till they are gone.( didnt want to waste the money) Then will move on to something else also taking B 12, Iron and Caltrate. Not sure what else to take after the Flinstones though.

Oh man! He is sooo dead!  Here's a link to Vitalady's RNY recommended plan. Get on Citracal and off the Caltrate. That's carbonate. Carbonate=kidney stones. https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AU46vLsRDC9rZGhranhtcXpfN mhuYmh4c2Nr&hl=en

I saw my surgeon 2 wks post-op, and was scheduled to see her NP at 6 months, no 3 mo ck at all.  Not to worry, just keep doing what you are doing.
