Hi! I’m planning to have a RNY and I have two “tween” sons. How did you talk to them about your surgery? Both boys are stick thin (their dad’s genes are the dominant ones!). I’m a bit worried, as the younger one had a number of medical issues when he was younger and is rather terrified of doctors.

What type of protein drinks are you drinking? I am allergic to whey protein, but can do soy, hemp, pea and a few others. There are a number of vegan and top-8 allergen-free drink options. It is really all about working around things that don’t work for you.

Thank you all! I’m getting the sense that I’ll need to wait until November to do surgery... i have plenty of headwork I need to do, so I guess I’ll keep on with that while I wait... and wait.... and wait.

Thanks! This is international travel, so 12-14 hrs on a plane one way. I could haul around shakes, but hadn’t thought about clotting issues...

Hi! I’m planning to have a RNY, but I travel for work a good amount. How long after surgery did (or would) you feel comfortable with traveling for work? Are we talking months?
