Hello ...I am new to the board
Hi Cathy,
Welcome to a great forum!! Everyone here is absolutely wonderful!!! I am just over 7 months out from my RNY, and I feel great!!! I am so happy that I was finally able to have my surgery. Sending good vibes your way for a quick and painless process.
A little advice I can share that helped me. Start trying to follow some of your nuts rules. I gave up pop, and really cut back on the carbs and sweets before surgery, and it did help.
For the protein, I would suggest going to the VITAMIN SHOPPE. They have lots of individual protein envelopes so you can taste them. They also have lots of protein bars that you can buy individually. Really read the labels on the protein bars though, some of them have a lot of sugar. I also started to take a multi vitamin and biotin before surgery.
Good luck on your journey!!!
Feel free to ask me any specific questions you might have, I am more than happy to help.
Caroline
