Hello  
               How's everyone doing?  Tuesday's my surgery and I'm happy and nervous.
I know this is what all the hard work has been for, but I'm really getting scared.

Well anyway I really did post to see how everyone has been doing lately.
Hope your all doing great!

 I had RNY - is there a forum for that?  Thanks for the suggestion!

 I have noticed as I'm about 1 and a half weeks post op that I am always desiring the next stage of the "diet."  I am having a HORRIBLE time with protein shakes and pureed food.  Protein shakes taste like poo now compared to preop.  Not sure if I need to switch or what, but I'm having a hard time choking them down.  In addition to that, the amount I'm supposed to have always makes me too full to eat when I'm supposed to have "pureed" food, which quite honestly is just gross to me.  I gag at the thought, and my gag reflux is in FULL force.  Never had that problem before.  

Anyway, not many people post on here but I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.  Until then, have a great weekend!

 I like to think I did great!  I'm DOING great!  Walking tons, sipping tons, and feeling really good.  I too came home Thursday and I am ready for stage two of FULL liquids starting tomorrow hopefully after my appointment.  Will let ya know!

SO glad to hear you are doing well!  Even if it's hilly outside, walk in circles inside.  It sounds silly, but it will be worth it.  I have found even THAT is a good pain reliever :-)

 You should have a dietician/nutritionist stop by your room before you leave with a list of things you can eat.  Every hospital is different, but ALWAYS ask!
