  1. Oh and I use fairlife fat free milk for mixing with soups, protein pudding pops, instant cream of wheat packets. 13g protein per cup
  2. My min water is 48oz day. Protein is 60-80g. My Dr had me do 2 days clear then full liquid for 2 weeks which is where I am now. I was freaked about trying to get it all in (1oz every 15-20 min would take all day by itself). Dr told me to concentrate on getting protein in. Water intake will follow
  3. I was prescribed once a day for 6 months
  4. I'm glad someone asked this as I was wondering too!

    Smoking

    I quit before for 5 years. Was stupid and started again and smoked for 5 more. Both times I quit using Chantix. I quit in March and had my RNY last week

    Mashed potatoes

    Mashed are on my never list. My Dr spent a Sunday doing emergency surgery for mashed potatoes that blocked. Can have them baked when I go to soft foods

    WHY?

    My ins covers the different types. I had actually wanted the sleeve. My surgeon told me to research rny. With my pcos said I'd have better results with rny. So went home, did the research and the data indicates he was right. Ugh so I went with the gastric bypass 😀
  9. I use unsweetened almond milk for my protein pudding pop mixture. For my shakes I use fairlife fat free.
  10. No. On my clear and full liquid chart jello is on both add a liquid so no waiting. Yes you can freeze as a fudge pop too!
  11. Asked my Dr same thing. How am I supposed to get all this water in and protein when only supposed to do an ounce at a time. Told me not to fret over it and to concentrate on getting protein in. Just about everything at this stage counts as protein and against your water totals. Liquid is all encompassing. I actually got 80 protein in today but it was very hard. Also made up protein sugar free pudding pops with almond milk
  12. Nurse tools me expect a week. Try next day and constipation. I about cried as I was putting pressure against the incision sites

    August surgery ppl

    I'm 3 days post-op for bypass. Did great in hospital though think they allowed me to many fluids. Was going thru ice chips like crazy. Released Friday. OK go to take gabapentin which is a capsule. Got stuck and ended up getting sick. After calling me Dr since now dry heaves. Allowed me diluted mylanta and back to water only for rest day and night. Now getting better. One incision is deeper in skin so it hurts more. Took me an hour to do breakfast. About 1/2 way to protein goal. Last week starving this week not so much. On top of everything else monthly friend showed up yesterday

    August surgery buddy?

    My surgery is Thursday the 16th. Started preop diet on the 2nd. It's been pretty hard to do, starving, stomach growling, no energy. Just looking for the next step to where I won't be hungry.
