How's everyone doing? I had my RNY on 6/6/22 and feel very fortunate that the only issue I had was an allergic reaction to the iodine prep they do before they start surgery. I broke out in itchy hives from chest to crotch. 3 days of prednisone and Vistaril and I am as good as new. Just started my multi vitamin, that is hard because it is like eating chalk but I choke it down along with my Omeprazole each morning. Not being able to chug my water is challenging but I find if I put lots of ice in my cup it causes me to drink it slower. I found this stuff called Dr. Berg's Nutritional Yeast, it is so good! 2 tbs has 11 grams of protein, so I tend to add it to almost everything, such as soup, Riccota bake, and eggs. I do not get hungry so I have set a timer for every 2 hrs so I eat and my main focus is on protein, making sure I get 80 grams in a day. HW 279 SW 250 CW 240 GW 155 Hope you are doing well!!

Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well. I had my pre op appt and lab work yesterday, insurance approval letter arrived yesterday as well! I have to get my COVID test tomorrow and then self quarantine till surgery. Looks like everything is a go for 6/6/22, My surgery is at 7:30 am PST. I'm surprisingly not nervous or having anxiety about the surgery itself. My anxiety is due to after the procedure. I've done better than I expected myself to do on the full liquid diet, down 12 Lbs down in 11 days. I have to switch to clear liquids on Sunday with drinking 28 oz of Gatorade before bedtime and then 24 oz of Gatorade before 5:30 am the day of. I'm so excited for all of us and to hear about everyone's journey after surgery.

You got this, the first 2 to 3 days are the roughest of the pre op diet but after that it is good. I'm with you on the 10 yr yo you of weightloss.

Good, I am down 7 lbs in 7 days. I do not really get hungry anymore, but I do get lightheaded from time to time and am weak when I try to do exercise.

Same, hope you are surviving the pre op diet !

Surgery twin!!

Today is day 7 of pre op diet, I am no longer dealing with hunger pains. I do get a little lightheaded if I try to do anything to physical, ie. help move the dog house, and stairs suck. I am down to 254.9 so I have lost 7 lbs.
