I am all packed and ready to fly away first thing in the morning! Along with most of above mentioned items I am also bringing an audio book for all the walking I am told I will be doing. I am expected to stay in hospital 3-5 days. -

Pre-op question...?
2biglamb replied to *Misty*Raine*'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pre-op diet should I b worried about the calories? I have 3 protein shakes 120 cal each, 2 chicken broths low fat, 1 cup cucumbers. I feel fine not hungry at all! According to my fitness pal I should have 1200 per day. Any advice? -
Congratulations!!! That is awesome!

Hi there I am 11 days pre-op! I live in Manitoba but my surgery is in Medicine Hat Alberta. I am doing a 2 week voluntary liquid pre-op diet, my surgeon does not require it. My surgery will be open, I hope I can get up and move around fast as I will be lonely in the hospital. Glad I found this thread!

I did for a week!! Had such withdrawals! I gulp my coffee if I had to sip it for the rest of my life it would get cold and I like it hot. Plus I did not think we could have caffeine after surgery!?
-
Thanks I am sure I will at least after surgery or the other pain will over power my head. Keepingy fingers crossed! I live in south east Manitoba Canada.

Anyone have an open RNY?
2biglamb replied to vicki1205's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For me it was because of scar tissue from 3 other surgeries. The 3 were all done laparoscopic. It would be nice if the surgeon changes his mind on the morning of surgery lol -
I quit all caffeine on Dec 31st. And none of protein have asperatme

23 Days Post Op - No Appetite
2biglamb replied to newstart1216's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
When shopping for protein we have to watch the sugar content. I had bought one that was so sweet turns out it had 26 gr of sugar per scoop! I now use one with max 5 grs of sugar and they are bland but at least I will get my protein. Good luck!! -
Anyone have an open RNY?
2biglamb replied to vicki1205's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good question! I am also havin an open rny. Initially I was told I would be in the hospital 5-7 days then when I talked to the nurse this week she said I could be out in 3. They also told me I would not be able to do any heavier work over 10lbs for 6-8 weeks. I am a FP with 3 small boys and my own 8 yr old. I have booked a respite provider to help me for 4 weeks. Hoping I will be able to take over then. -
Day 4 of my voluntary 14 day pre-op diet. I am having major headaches!!
