Let's start a group for those having surgeries next month! It's hard to believe the date is almost here!! Nerves hitting yet? I'm more afraid of failing later then the surgery itself ATM. I'm also nervous about the 3 weeks liquid diet post-op! Anyone else?

you can get the chewabe calcium citrate with vit D at GNC.

There is a nutrition store on faunae corner road in Dartmouth Ma that has a huge section specific to RNY patience

So how is everyone doing that had their surgeries last month? I am I month in two days and doing ok. My biggest issue is not being able to tolerate room temp water, but I'm figuring that out with ice chips, shaved ice and frozen water water bottles. I've lost 24 pounds since surgery so far. Was hoping for 30 but I'm not complaining! I am still not dropping sizes like I expected either - that frustrates me more. Was size 24 and now I can wear some size 22 tops and rare bottoms. That's after an over 35 pound loss total - go figure!

I'm thankful that I made it through month 1 and I'm not dealing with the pain. I've had my dumping experience, and vomiting foamies.

Now I'm worried about lack of Water, calories and Protein. Why is it we can only drink water with lots of I've?? Is there a Protein Bar that can help instead of a shake that isn't covered in chocolate? What about nuts? Scramble eggs with turkey bacon? I'm ready to add something else beside oatmeal and cottage cheese. Or at least another protein.

Seem like all I eat is cheese. Going to attempt steak today it has lots of protein.
