So as I preparing to pass my boards in two weeks I have a question how has working and WLS been? Which surgery did you have? How do you meet your requirements through your shift, was it hard at first? Do you require more protein to get you through 12 hr shifts I've just been wondering?

I am an RN, but I just got my bypass. I am wondering how I will get enough Water during my shift. The manager keeps making us put our water in a back cubby where it is largely inaccessible.

RN here. I had 6 full weeks of medical leave. Getting enough water and protein in during work days was definitely a challenge at first. I would drink a protein shake on the way to work and eat lunch and a snack. It definitely got easier after a month or so. 9 months later I have now perfected my eating schedule and manage to get all my protein and most of my water in. On the drive to work I drink a shake, 9am breakfast snack, 1pm lunch, 3pm snack, then dinner when I get home.

Thanks for the info. I was worried about the same things above. I don't have my gastric bypass yet, only happening 14 Dec God willing
