Topic: RE: May 26, 2009 --- oh my!
Did your surgeon actually tell you that he'd stop the procedure if your liver wasn't smaller? I mean my doc told me that was the main reason for the high protein liquid diet for two weeks, but I mean, in reality- nobody ever measured my liver, so how they could tell exactly how much smaller it has gotten is beyond me. Plus- just like every body- there is some room for your genetics to take effect. I am no doc, but I am sure that everyone's liver is not EXACTLY the same.
I think we all should relax a bit . . . I bet we'll do fine!
After the journey to get to the surgery . . .let's focus on the recovery and the new healthier life ahead of us.

Topic: Post opers:What is your plan? Look at mine please???
Hi everyone.. I had surgery May 13th and am following my program to a T- But I am worried its too many calories at this point from what I am reading that is common. Could you also share what plan you are on???? TY TY TY!!!
My program calls for 3 protein shakes a day plus one snack. To all of these I must add one tblsp of unflavored protein powder. 8oz of milk was my choice snack but since it was nasty with the powder added, I called the NUT and she said just do 16oz milk with no protein for the snack.
My intake is as follows:
Upon waking : 9oz water
Breakfast: 8oz lactaid ff calcium fortified ff milk w one packet NSA carnation
Mid Morning: 8oz lactaid ff calcium fortified milk
Lunch: 8oz lactaid ff calcium fortified ff milk w one packet NSA carnation
Mid Day: 9 oz water
Dinner: 8oz lactaid ff calcium fortified ff milk w one packet NSA carnation
Evening: 8oz lactaid ff calcium fortified ff milk
Before bed : 9oz water (sometimes i dont finish)
Throughout the day I have 3 Bariatric Advantage calcium chewables, 2 Bariatric advantage multis, 2 bariatric advantage iron, and two 10ml doses of liquid zantac.
Total including vitamins this is about
790 calories!
84 grams protein
5 grams fat
This scares me! I hear of people this new to surgery only having a couple hundred. Thoughts????? Is this just high because its liquid and will drop when I switch to food next week... or am I set up for failure? I want to follow everything and be precise because I am NOTTTTTT going back to this size. EVER!
