I had RNY on 4/8 started the liquid diet on 4/10. The papers I have state stay on the SF full liquid for 2 weeks after starting the liquid diet in the hospital. So does that mean I start stage 3 on 4/24 which would be 2 weeks? Sorry I know it is a stupid question but I am looking forward to moving to a new stage.

Thank you,
Tonia

Tonia, My friend who had the surgery in another state went through the exact same thing. It is completely normal for you to feel sad because you have made a life-altering decision to get your life back. I think if you talk to your surgeon's office they will tell you they hear this all of the time. Everyone has 'buyer's remorse' so to speak..haha.  In 3-6 months you will look back and be so happy you did this for yourself.  For the protein, there are so many different types out there to try. Sample a little of each to see what works best with you.
