Hi fellow RNY patients!

I received a phone call this past Monday the 24th saying my perspective date is June 30th obviously if all previous tests go according to plan!

Anyone else having their surgery this June??

Yes My Dr. Is with ABQ Health Partners. Dr. Tyner, he is awesome!

Surgery is 3 weeks from tomorrow. My preop diet starts in 2 weeks. Whew I can't believe how close everything is getting!

I have been so obsessed that my surgery seems so far away that I didn't even realize that I start my pre-op diet in three weeks. Once June is here its going to creep up fast. I am so excited!!

@annymarie Go check out their website. You'll find all kinds of instructions and ideas for how to use their protein powders.

Based on my experience, if you get it too hot, it will clump up and not dissolve properly. It doesn't hurt the protein, just makes it clumpy.

I will. thank you.

isn't it funny that most of us including me who have had the 6 month nut visits were annoyed because it seemed so far away at the beginning and now it flew by and we're like omg it came so fast. lol

I feel fortunate that I didn't have to do the 6 month thing. I have no patience what so ever, I would of went insane.

I almost lost my mind having to do the 6 month diet. I had talked with my insurance and was told I wouldn't have to do it and then I was denied because I hadn't done it. Gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I swear I could have killed someone but now my surgery date is just around the corner, June 3rd. I've fought for this for so long and now that it's here EEEKKK!

29 days to go!! I am not scared or nervous,yet. I have had plenty of surgeries before. I am more worried about drinking that nasty magnesium citrate for bowel prep. I have had the lemon flavor before, trust me its not good. Hoping that grape or cherry has a better taste.

My surgeon never said a word about bowel prep

Bowel prep? Hmm I haven't heard anything about that.

Consider yourself lucky if you don't have to do bowel prep. My doctor never mentioned it either, it was in the pre-op paperwork and the handbook. The day before my surgery its nothing but clear liquids and a big bottle of magnesium citrate for me. That stuff is a super powerful laxative. I'm going to have a busy day....lol.

Then I must be lucky cause my papers don't say that lol

Well...... I start my all liquid diet tomorrow for three weeks, then it's time for my SURGERY!!!!!! :-D

If you need some support during your diet, you know where to come.

Some surgeons require a bowel prep and some don't. Mine doesn't.

Same with the presurgical diets. some have no diet at all and some have the two week and some have the two day.

I often wonder why they all do it different ways.
