My surgeon's office recommends to start the week before surgery because will not be able to take them the 1st week or 2 after surgery while our stomach's are healing.

Oh. I was able to start them the day after I got home.

I've been on my pre-op liquid diet for almost a week now and while it's not the easiest thing in the world I'm using this exact mindset. Glad to hear your surgery went well!

Thank you. I hope yours goes just as well.

Hello everyone. I had RNY on May 6th, and I’m currently recovering. I cannot even begin to tell you just how much I’m looking forward to being able to sleep in my bed again. How is everyone else doing?

I just saw this comment. What is it that your surgeon says to start the week before surgery?

My count down has begun. I leave Thursday and surgery Friday morning. I am nervous but excited to get started with a tool that will help me meet my goals.

My wls is on the 16th. The hospital called me to pre-register and there were a bunch of standard questions that they had to ask. One question was is this procedure needed due to an accident or crime. I said no but then answered well, it could be considered a crime and then we both started cracking up 🤣 and it was hard to stop laughing to get back to business 😂

Funny! It should be a darn crime that we eat food and it goes on our hips and other people like my mom had candy bars and cokes daily and never gained weight.

5/6 was my RNY as well. I am sleeping half the night in my bed and the rest of it in a recliner. I bought one of those college pillows with the arms to keep me propped up and easier to make it out of bed. But my back starts to hurt since I can’t side sleep so I come down to recline about 4a or so. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yikes. I was a stomach side sleeper due to neck and back knee so I guess I’ll get used to the back sleeping in the bed half time and half in the recliner lol.

May 4 was my surgery date and it's been great. I'm able to tolerate all my liquids but, my main Premier Protein is rather "chalky".

I think it was about Vitamins. Not taking them 1 week before surgery.
