Fantastic!! Congratulations!!

Very very encouraging! I'll be having RnY on July 5th. Fingers crossed I'm as successful as you!

Any words of wisdom? Tips?

Haha. Thanks. They're part of a family pajama set. My wife is a Disney fanatic so she keeps trying to put me Disney related clothing (hence the toy story shirt). My pajama pants are grey with black stripes and hers are grey with red stripes. Our daughter's are grey with one leg of red stripes and the other leg with black stripes.

What a cool set up!!

If you do what your nutritionist and surgeon advise, you'll do fine. Just be patient and plan ahead for your meals. I eat pretty much the same thing for Breakfast and lunch every day. dinner varies but it revolves around lean Proteins and fruits or veggies. I eat three 4oz meals a day with one 8oz Protein Drink before my breakfast. The Protein drink is one scoop of Allmax Isoflex zero sugar chocolate Peanut Butter and 8 oz of soy milk. The powder is 27g of protein and the soy milk is 8g, giving me 35g of protein. It took a lot of trial and error to find the right combo of Protein Powder and milk to drink but this one is pretty good. For some reason, I can't drink cow milk any more. I can eat all other sorts of dairy, just not milk. I can drink it, I just don't like it. Lastly, I drink 100oz of Water a day.

I hope that helps.

Good luck!

I should have mentioned that with my meals I eat in total about 90g of Protein. My nutritionist advises that I target 75-113g of protein.

Good luck!
