RNY tomorrow. ..any last minute advice

[Megstar619 6]

I'm having my rny surgery tomorrow morning. I cant believe how fast the 2 week Pre Op diet went by. Anyone have any last minute advice for me that will help me get through the hospital and first few stages?

The first day in the hospital just went so quickly.

I'm a little foggy about that day to be honest because of the first 24 hrs of pain meds they give you.

As soon as I was allowed to get out of bed I did and I walked around the hospital floor several times each day I was in the hospital. I went to the bathroom myself without having someone help me.

I didn't shower though until I got home with anti bacterial soap for the duration until my incisions closed all the way and the steri strips fell off. I would say the first month maybe I did this just to be safe.

I say the first stages went easy for me. I drank my Water, had sugar free popsicles, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup to be able to get Protein in and my Protein shakes that I made. When I could eat pureed fruits, veggies and meats I was allowed to use baby food also I used baby oatmeal. Check with your nutritionist if this is okay or just puree your own.

Campbell's creamed Soups are good the low fat ones but they have to be strained and pureed for you to ingest.

For Protein Shakes I used and still do Jay Robb whey Protein. I use PB2 Peanut Butter powder or PB2 chocolate Peanut Butter powder to add flavor and some extra protein. Ask your nutritionist if this is okay to use in the early stages.

I also use Torani sugar free syrups in my shakes to add flavors. They come in a multitude of different flavors. Ask your nutritionist if these are okay to use in the early stages.

These are just a few thoughts I have and you can go with them or not.

Best of luck to you on your new journey to a healthier life.

P.S. Unjury has a sample pack of their products that is great and you can get a sample pack from Jay Robb too.
