Katie, I also bought myself a small food processor (I didn't have one), different types of soup, juices and cottage cheese. I am curious as to how I am going to eat and what my body will allow me to eat. Hope that helps! Best wishes! Diana

Hello Katie, I'm am 5 days post op. I also stocked up on sugar free popsicles, crystal light, sugarfree koolaid, cream of wheat, oatmeal,carnation instant breakfast(no sugar added) skim milk,sugar free pudding,and fat free chicken, and beef broth. I have been home 1 day, once you get home 1st week you will be on liquid diet..

Naomi, my surgery is just 8 days away and I like your answer, but I was wondering...what do you mean by free pudding and do you have a brand name for the FF chix and beef broth? I can't seem to find any at my local stores. And finally, are you hungry? I just can't get over that I won't be eating or that I will be eating like a bird for a few weeks. Certainly will be an adjustment. Thanks and good luck to you in this new journey.

Free means suger free and fat free. beef broth you can get in a can or buion cubs of beef and chicken. You can find fat free broth. Norma You better go to the main message board and click on the blue stip on the left side of the message board. you can see it right now as you read THIS. roster of members go to Stacy O she knows alot about the surgery and will answer your question. But at the roster of members you can read all the post from that one person. It's very large on the main message board, but You really need to start reading. It sounds to me like no one has told you anything about what WILL happen to your stomach and what will, and will not be allow to eat FOREVER you will never again eat like you do now. This means right after surgery you will only be allow to drink broth, chicken broth and suger free popsicles,suger free jello and suger free crystal lite, decaffeinated tea, coffee, and all the water you can hold for the first 1 weeks and after that you will be allowed to have STAGE 2 DIET NON FAT SKIM MILK,PROTEIN SHAKES SUGER FREE BROTH, SUGER FREE JELLO,SUGER FREE POPSICLES NO SOLID FOODS NO CARBONATED DRINKS AT ALL. THEY WILL RIP YOUR POUCH (STOMACH) OPEN. CALL THE INLAND VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER AND ASK THEM FOR A COPY OF THERE (POST GASTRIC BYPASS DIET) iF NOT i WILL MAKE A COPY AND MAIL YOU ONE . JUST E-MAIL ME AND I'LL GET YOUR ADDRESS AND SEND IT TO YOU ON MONDAY. GOOD LUCK, SHARON lOPEZ
