I had my RNY the day before you. I have found if I cough or sneeze I have one incision that is just not happy. It has gotten better. Just watch it and if the pain increases make that call to your Dr. I have found I have difficulty with finding things I like now vs before surgery. Drinks/soups that were fine before are not great now. It's a work in progress. I too have been told hydration, hydration, hydration. Unlike you, I have been told the Protein shakes count towards the hydration totals. That has made it much easier. I still try to get all my liquid in. Sometimes I add Protein powder to crystal lite etc and that helps to get both in. Also, if you can have Jello, you can make it with Protein drinks. Instead of using the Water you can use something like Isopure and whichever flavor matches your jello, use a cup of cold isopure in place of the water. Also, I've found referring back to the lists, recipes etc that my nutrionist gave me for each stage has been a big help. Good luck to you! It's certainly an adventure, but you are not in this alone!

Good luck! I had my RNY on 11/28. It's a journey. Glad you've found a surgeon you like. Everything will happen in the right time frame. Keep us posted on your journey! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@mariec2...I am also having my surgery in the 28th. Can't believe it's only a few days away! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good morning all! I am having my RNY on 11/28. I started the pre op diet yesterday and I'm doing ok. A little headachy and a bit sluggish, but I've been reassured in a few days I'll feel pretty good. I'm both excited and nervous regarding the surgery. I know it's the right thing to do especially since I have health issues I was born with. My surgery is obviously right around the holidays and I'm wondering how others have dealt with the holidays since having the surgery and ALL the questions. At times I struggle with wondering what the holidays will be like now compared to what they've been in the past. I know the surgery is the right thing to do and I will get through the next 12 days and the surgery and everything that comes with it, I just wondered how bothers dealt with the holidays etc. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
