On our way for our one week follow up. Im excited and hopefully get to expand the food range. Every cream can soup makes me gag. Im only able to keep down to protein shakes and greek yogurt.

.

They just brought me strawberry yogurt, skim milk, protein powder and a boost glucose control drink. I'm in heaven....

My husband and myself had our RNY the 25th we get to go home today. I think the gas pains have been the worst. I'm ready to go home and take a real shower. I took a pic of us yesterday, 24 hours after surgery. I posted in the pre-op thread but will post here also. ... even though it keeps coming in upside down. Lol He is down 40 lbs and me 13lbs.

Yup upside down again. Who knows but you get the idea.

My husband and myself go home today. We both woke up passing gas so yay!! It keeps showing us upside down. don't know if it will post that way. This is both of us 24 hours after gastric bypass. He is down 40 pounds total and me 13. Darn female hormones. Lol [ATTACH]42804[/ATTACH]

First day went great. Was up walking all evening. Sat up talking to a friend till midnight. Pain is pretty low. My husband had bypass yesterday too. He couldn't sleep so he walked to my room at 3am when nurse woke me up and again at 7am. We went for a long walk and now I'm down in cray awaiting my Upper GI so I can hopefully get unhooked from the catheter. So far so good. A lot smoother than I expected.

Had surgery at 1030 this morning. Up and walking already. Sore in my stomach area but have a pain pump so I'm all good. worst thing has been the dry mouth. Get the upper xray in the morning

Mine and my husband's surgery are tomorrow. I have to be there at 53 o and him at 11. We are both wide awake fretting over it. Goodness.

Myself and my husband are having gastric bypass this Tuesday by Robert Davis. We had to do 6 months of nutrition classes so we have been there alot. So far his staff and been great. Email and phone calls. This 2 week liquid pre-op diet sucks but we only have today left since tomorrow is clear liquids only. You get more information from them at your pre-op appointment. So far so good. I have found a lot of good advice, tips and hints here.

After 2 weeks on this pre-op liquid diet, I've been looking for anything different. During it I have had the Bariatric Advantage shakes. They weren't bad. They are thick. I found I had lots of gas/stomach pains when blending them. If I shake them, it isn't near as bad. I had the banana, chocolate and vanilla. The vanilla I added PB2 powder to it for a nice change of pace. Now 2 weeks of nothing but this... I'm so over it. So while shopping today for my 2 week post op stuff, I found Muscle milk. (Surgery is Tues) Muscle Milk: I tried the Cookies and cream today. I think found a good post op Protein drink. It's really thin and didn't cause me any stomach issues. Yay! Let's hope come this week after surgery I can handle them. I really like it.

I have 4 more days of protein shakes, 1 day of clear liquids and then it's surgery day! I'm excited, nervous and making tons of lists for next week. seems like so much to do and so little time. Plus the whole cleaning of the house from floor to ceiling this weekend.

Great ideas! I need to start copying all of these so I don't forget them.

Day 1 of my liquid diet down and I have a massive headache. I didn't even drink that much coffee before today. But I guess even that little bit makes a difference.

I'm scheduled for the 25th. (My husband and myself are doing it together with same day surgery). We are here waiting to get our shakes and stuff for our 2 week pre-op all liquid diet. Nervous as can be. Goodness. I hope these 2 weeks fly by.

I am March 25th. Now have a sinus infection so trying to get the antibiotics in before then. My husband and myself are doing it at the same time... surgery is the same day. We start our 2 week liquid diet Tuesday. ... not looking forward to it but it will be over before I know it.

Thanks for some great ideas!!!

I am about a month away from surgery so I am now compiling a list of foods to buy so we will have them already on hand. (My husband is getting gastric bypass at the same time as myself). Thanks for some good protein choices.

Thank you for your update. I am about a month away from surgery. Now that these 6 months have gone by, I'm getting nervous and just thinking of the worst case possible. I know if I don't have it done, my hormones will never work right. Just spazzing out a little
