Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

My dad is coming to get me on his way home from work. Gonna visit with him and my mom for a while. Then he's going to take me grocery shopping for some things people have suggested like condensed soups and Carnation Instant Breakfast.

That's good. Carnation Instant Breakfast is so yummy too! I've always loved it and can't wait till I can have it. Lol I'm sorry you're having such a hard time holding things down! That's terrible. If it keeps up, make sure you go in for some fluids.

Made it!!! Gas pains horrible! Ugh!

Congratulations!! Im tomorrow! !

Walk, walk, walk!! My gas pains were gone in two days cause I kept walking.

Yay Mandee!! Save some room on the loser's bench for me.

I got my surgery time for tomorrow. I check in at 9 and surgery is at 11. I am nervous now...

I go in at 8am and they told me I was probably the last surgery of the day. What's up with that? Last surgery of the day and no liquids! I'm not looking forward to the day long wait.

I am sorry that stinks. I was worried about going 12+ hours without anything to drink too. Ill drink a glass at midnight.

They aren't making me do a bowel prep because I've been on liquids for thirty days. I did drink 1/2 of magnesium citrate because I wanted cleaned out. Kind of regretting that now. Liquids in liquids out. I have a headache too but afraid to take anything for it.

Tylenol should be ok...that's about the only thing my surgeon allows.

Maybe they're not doing that many surgeries tomorrow. ?? It seems kinda cruel to make you go that long with nothing. Maybe IVs.

They told me no aspirin a week before or after ever. I wasn't sure about Tylenol the night before so thought I would error on the safe side.

I have been lurking in the forum for a while now. My surgery is scheduled for June 25. Hoping all goes well. Thank you all for sharing your stories. I now have more realistic idea of what to expect.

I know protein powder isn't sitting well with you but try non fat dry milk powder mixed into soup or the carnation instant breakfast. It has 8grams of protein in a scoop. It'll be nice to get out if the house and having a change of scenery. Getting some fresh air might help too

I'll have to try the milk powder. I did hold down some skim milk with protein powder mixed with iced coffee this afternoon. Wasn't bad.

I hope I like the Carnation as much as everyone else. Seems to get rave reviews!!!

All that came up on me today was the two super cold things I tried - jello and a popsicle. Tasted so good going in tho! lol

Me too! New to this forum. So ready to start anew! I'm also a school teacher so hopefully this will give me enough time to figure out food for lunch next year...

Me toooo! I teach too, so plenty of time to recover before school starts again....

Packing my bag for Thursday...sh!t just got real.

I need to pack for Thursday to and your right it is getting real. LoL

Oh. And I'm a little concerned. Anything with Protein powder added is not sitting very well with me. I had no problem with Protein shakes pre op but now they're all coming right back up.

Have you tried unjury whey protein? It really dissolves well and my doc recommended it as the best for RNY patients. Maybe that'll go down better? Best wishes to you.
