Just found this site, thanks to another OH member.  My surgery, lap RNY, is scheduled for 9/8.  My doctor has us do a pre-op diet of 3 Carnation Instant Breakfast, no sugar added type and 2 Lean Cuisine/Healthy Choice type meals each day.  I am supposed to be on a soft diet as soon as I go home from the hospital. I know a lot of the usuals for a soft diet (protein shakes, cottage cheese, puddings, SF popsickles, etc) but any other ideas/suggestions for the soft diet?
Good luck to everyone.  Just think how we will all look/feel by Christmas!!!

how do you get to the sept chat? or any chat for that matter.

How do I get included in the September surgery  mine is 9-10-08

Sept 8 is my date too!

I haven't found a protein drink I like except for the low-carb slim fast.  Guess I'll have to add some stuff (powdered milk, maybe?) to it to boost the protein amount, since it's only 20g per serving.

2 weeks & 1 day to go!!!!!

Congratulations and welcome to the Sept board.  it won't be long now.
