Congratulations! How are you feeling?

I think my surgeon is not the norm because she doesn’t allow any protein drinks or powders with starting 60g protein per day. All drinking is water only with none 30 min before and after meals. I typically am able to get in almost 15-20g per meal depending on what it is. I count my prep time or go for a short slow walk before or after. No processed food of any kind and eating actual food starting day four. First couple days were tough but doing much better with it now at day 9 since surgery. I measure everything and read every label. Each meal goal is 3-4 oz of protein and 4 oz of steamed veggie 2x a day/ fruit 1x a day. Was surprised that no sugar applesauce had 13g of sugar vs 4oz of apple has 8g no skin and diced up with high protein Greek yougut and cinnamon…yum! You’ve got this! Hope this helps.😊

I made a delicious single serve broccoli with chicken soup all puréed! Message me if you want the recipe.

I am about 75% of the way to my 60 gram a day protein goal most days. There is a 3:1 protein to veggie bite rule…3 bites of protein to 1 bite of veggie or fruit. So this way if you get full you will have eaten more of the protein. I am currently off of all diabetes medicine including trulicity. Fingers crossed it will stay that way.

I heard back from my dr today that they are going to look at bg levels after 30 and 90 days before they make any adjustments. Mainly bc with the weight change will come more blood glucose changes as well. Hope you are doing well after your surgery 😊

Worried I am doing something wrong and looking for some insights. Had gastric bypass on 4/12 and over all feeling better each day. I am noticing my morning fasting blood glucose levels starting to climb. Was in the 90s in the hospital and now this morning at 124. Pre op was on trulicity 1.5 1x a week for type 2 diabetes. I still get very tired easy and am lightheaded most of the day. Have had some vision changes since surgery as well. Starting weight 231 - 4/20 today 224 which has not changed for 3 days post op weight 239 went up day after surgery and is now at 224 Started foods on Sunday with dr recommended : 3oz protein and half cup veggie2x a day or fruit 1x a day - every meal is measured and strict to guidelines. My surgeon does not allow any protein shakes or any processed food of any kind. drinking minimum 64oz water up to walking 1.5-2 miles per day

Hi! My name is Johanna and I live in western AZ. I have three adult children one grandson and just found out I am going to be a grandma again in September. Love the AZ sunshine and all things outdoors. I am having RNY on 4/12/23 to hopefully get rid of GERD and T2 Diabetes.

Has anyone added collagen to their clear liquid diet (add to broth) post op and had success with the added protein?

Thank you for the great insights 👍

Thank you 😊

I am having my surgery April 12th too! Excited and admittedly a little nervous.

My daughter has used Mederma quick dry oil and had great success with reducing scarring. My surgery is not until 4/12 but I am getting some for the scars and stretch marks.
