My date is April 24th, for RNY. It still doesn't feel quite real. I didn't have to lose any weight during the 6 months of monitored, since I needed to keep my BMI where it was (at 40, I've gained since). I think I have just about everything I'll need. I'm going to try egg white protein powder, and I have regular vitamins and a pill crusher (It seems like the bariatrics and chewables in general always have loads of gunk in them, fillers and artificial sweeteners). Good luck to everyone with dates coming up.
