Hospital stay question
My surgery was Monday around 1100 and I was discharged Tuesday at 1845. I was asked by my physician what would make me comfortable--I was definitely ready to be in the comfort of my own home. I am also a RN, so I have no desire to be admitted in the hospital longer than necessary. Ultimately, your MD should do what's best for you.

My time has finally arrived! I am en route to the hospital to have RNY gastric bypass. I am surprisingly calm. I have my wonderful husband and son by my side. Once I get checked in I will post an update. Have a great morning.

Preop diet survey
2 week pre op diet is required by my surgeon. This consists of 3-4 protein shakes a day (with 1% milk or water) also included are very specific protein milkshake recipes (optional). Steamed and/or raw veggies at meals. Sugar free ice pops and jello are allowed as well. On day 12 start clear liquids only. I start Monday.
