African American RNY Sisters

I am still in the process of completing my pre-op requirements. After speaking with my surgeon, the RNY was highly recommended because of severe GERD. I am glad I came across this website and forum, it is my prayer to meet new people, to learn and take something from each person's journey.

I am a slow loser and it's frustrating me to no end. My doc says I should focus on 64oz of Water per day and 60-90g of Protein. Any tips on how to get all my water and protein in daily? I will be 8 weeks on Monday. :-(

Your doctors right. I had a hard time the first few weeks with water and protein and when I increased my water intake the weight started falling off. I bought a 32oz water bottle and fill it up when I got up in the morning. I try to drink 32 oz by 4pm and drink another 32oz by the time I go to bed. I keep the water bottle with me at all times. Try that it may help. It definitely helps me get my water intact in. In regards to protein I would suggest a good Protein Powder and drink away! Lol. I still drink a Protein Shake every morning for Breakfast. I use Isopure Dutch chocolate or nectar chocolate truffle. I mix with skim milk ( they can both be mixed with water) and drink it throughout the day (12oz) and it gives me no less than 50-60 grams of protein so any protein I eat is a bonus! Good luck and happy losing! Feel free to contact me anytime.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I have 3 appts scheduled for Wednesday 01/22 (EGD, 1 mth nutritionist visit & psych eval questionnaire) I already had the stress test done. I'm nervous & excited at the same time. I received a call from the gastroenterology clinic, my HIDA scan results show my gallbladder is not functioning and it needs to be removed.

Will your Doc remove it at the same time as your RNY?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
