I am 4 weeks post op, as of yesterday. I have not had any complications, I am tolerating most foods. However I am tired of the protein shakes. Please if any of you have any High Protein Recipes to share it would be greatly appreciated. The thought of drinking another protein shake is nauseating.

I am 4 days post op, and having trouble getting in all the liquids I'm supposed to. I am also very fatigued in the evenings. Anybody else having these issues, any suggestions would be appreciated. Sent from my Alcatel_5056O using BariatricPal mobile app

Try emailing your hospitals bariatric nurse. I had my RNY Monday July 2. The head bariatric nurse gave me her card with her number and email on it. Sent from my Alcatel_5056O using BariatricPal mobile app

That is one of my concerns. I have an appendectomy scar (about 8" long). My surgeon said it should be fine. I'm still worried it will be in the way. Not to mention 2 prior C sections, I'm sure those won't be in the way. Sent from my Alcatel_5056O using BariatricPal mobile app

@Frustr8 that's pretty cool. My mother is also a 26er hers is in April. Our birthdays fall on the same day of the week every year. She just turned 77. Sent from my Alcatel_5056O using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you @RickM for the input. Ill talk to the nurse tomorrow see what she thinks. Guess it's all about personal preference and your lab results. I'm very nervous, but excited about my pending surgery. 6 days and counting. July 2nd, just 24 days shy of my 50th birthday. Happy Birthday to me. #excitedlynervous

I am I week pre op also... This is really crazy stuff, My two grown boys who live with me will have so much fun picking on me. I will be stocking up on the air freshners for sure.

I already have to take a prescription vitamin D 50'000 mcgs 3x a week. This one that I have found that is supposed to be "complete" or "comprehensive" It even has a disclaimer that says no other supplements needed. For $25.00 a month you can't beat it. So if anyone out there has tried this please give some feedback.

July 2nd for me. I am excitedly nervous...lol

My surgeon wanted me to lose 40 more lbs before he scheduled my surgery. However, I am a woman of faith, and when I left his office I was devastated. We were supposed to set a date that day. So I got in my car and I prayed, God if this is your will let it happen. On Friday June 15th, I got a phone call saying you need to call and lets set a date for your surgery. I got this message after 5. So I had to wait through the weekend. They called me back first thing Monday June 18th and set my date for July 2nd. I already had a weigh in appointment for Thurs June 21st. They made that my pre op appointment. Everything for me is moving super fast for me now.

My Dr did not do complete liquids the entire week before. I will start complete liquids on Friday June 29th.

I have seen a couple of all in one "comprehensive" multivitamins. Has anyone tried these? If so, how has your lab work been. I am wanting to cut down on the amount of supplements to buy, they are expensive.

Slow but steady wins the race I have lost aprox 17 lbs up to this date. Trying to get in 10 more BY Monday. I think I can, just gott put my mind to it.
