Can anyone tell me a good threshold for sugar and fat grams? I don't want dumping syndrome but I want to add things to my shakes.

My dr suggests the 20:10:10 rule...

At least 20grams of protein

Less than 10grams of sugar

Less than 10grans of fat.....

Hope this helps

Ok I'm still in the hospital. O go home tomorrow. What I have noticed is the midnight crew is extremely lazy. They don't answer any of my request. I'm going to let my Dr, know tomorrow because this is ridiculous. My ac is not working I can't even get a fresh/cold cup of water. Yet they tell me to get my fluids in. S,dh????

On the losers bench! YAY! I've had a miserable night but its almost over. Today is water very slowly and with God's blessing some broth tonight. My phone is my entertainment because I will *not* pay $10 a day for the t.v. I hope you end-of-the-month losers are doing ok too.

So 3 weeks out now and for the past week bf said I have stopped snoring! I am sleeping a whole lot better and actually feel rested. Didn't think it would happen this soon!

Two weeks out and my hips and knees aren't killing me! I can walk without crying. Granted I haven't had to work a full day yet but I've done a lot of walking and no pain !!

Today I had a Laughing Cow cheese wedge and it was sooo good. Can't have crackers yet so I ate it off of the wrapper. Popsicles have also helped with the urge of wanting crunchy food. I need to get more exercise in though.

I am new here and having RNY on August 30th. Nervous. But Hopeful!

Make sure you read the nutritional value on those because my nutritionist told me those are actually bad. That's she prefers for me to just eat regular just way less of it because of the Ingredients.

Good luck tomorrow. And welcome. Nothing really to b nervous about. Everyone is different but I have had no pain, I had my surgery on the 6th and the only real pain I had was from my Iv, the three times they poked me and when they would give me medicine in it, it would burn so bad I would grab my arm. But other than that nothing. Let us know how u r doing. Good luck again!!
