    Any Canadians Out There?

    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!

    Pre op diet

    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!?

    Anyone have an open RNY?

    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

    23 Days Post Op - No Appetite

    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?

    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.
