Ditto. RNY is the best thing I have ever done for myself. For the first time ever, I look forward to each day fearlessly, without worry for my health, how much pain I'll feel, what I can or can't do, or being embarrassed about how I look. This is the first summer I've truly enjoyed since 1985. :-)

Lip balm, gas x strips. Go walking in the hospital as soon as you are able it will help with the gas.
Wishing you the best.

My doc did a preop (he said it shrinks the liver which he has to raise to do the surgery)
basically it was 2 Meal Replacements with a bariatric shake and a sensible meal.
day before surgery no high fat foods.
Hope this helps

Went to cvs this morning and bought Centrum liquid multi vit... I just could not handle the chewable Vitamin it made me nauseous. Still not hungry but trying my best to get the Protein down. Cannot stand the taste of sf Jello for some reason and had to result to pudding with Protein powder. Wish me luck the eating part is such a struggle - seems so weird that eating was once my biggest problem.... eating is still a problem but now it is the opposite.
ps liquid vit wasnt bad - not great but better than that disgusting chewable.
Aloha and hope you are all doing well.

Thinking of everyone having surgery today and tomorrow.
My surgery is tomorrow, I am a little nervous, but can't wait to be healthy.
Final day of pre-op diet, that diet kicked my .... but I am sure glad that it will help me cope with the eating yet to come.
Thank you for your support. I hope all goes well and everyone has a speedy recovery.
Aloha!
