Hi there,

I have surgery wed morning wooohooo!!! My question is what does a day in the life of RNY look like

What is your daily drink / food/vitamins!! I'm especially interested in the first two weeks!! I'm headed to costco later today. Also what powder Protein do you like to sprinkle on just about everything??

I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder and Celebrate powder. You can buy both online.

~In the morning I feel my 24 oz Water bottle up.

~Make an 8 oz Protein Drink add in Calcium citrate crystals. It's hard for me to chew the Calcium pills as they are huge and chalky.

~I then Lay out multi Vitamin, thyroid medicine, birth control, B1, Biotin, Prilosec, and each time I take a sip of Water I take a pill that is a capsule. The multi Vitamin is chewable and I have a lot easier time eating once I split it in 4ths.

It takes me 4 hours to get 8 oz down of Protein. Once that is down I focus on just getting in water and other clear fluids.

~Once 1 or 2 o'clock hits I make my second protein and add in the calcium crystals. I also mix my protein with lactaid milk as I have become lactose intolerant after surgery!

~Around 5 pm I take my other multi vitamin and chew up a calcium. ~Around 8 pm I take an Iron as you have to wait 2 hours after taking calcium as it interacts with eachother.

It's a busy day keeping up with protein, water, and Vitamins but totally doable. My water goal is 64 oz and protein is 60 grams. I forgot the mention I am 5 days post op RNY.

I am a month out and things have pretty much been like this: I wake up and drink Water, I am constantly thirsty. Some days I get in my Multivitamin but others not. I find it unbearable to eat. I take my other Vitamins throughout the day. I am looking forward to being able to swallow my Vitamins soooo much.

I will usually eat about 4 oz Protein shake in the am, a 1/4 cup Soup in the afternoon, and two bites of egg in the pm.

I try and drink Water and other Fluid all day long, it's very hard.

I have no physical desire for food but mentally I want it just the same. I miss it and feel sad my stomach is so different now.

At the same time I like the weight loss and look forward to progressing my diet which still seems impossible.

It feels like I have a stomach bug for life. Be ready to give up eating it is so hard some days.

I just wanted to add this as I am an example of someone who is having a harder time.

I have lost 30 pounds in 4 weeks.
