Topic: RE: Messed Up Pre Op Diet -- PLEASE HELP !

Don't beat yourself up. I've messed up too a few times.... had Chinese food the second night, no really big meals since but a slice of cheese here or a spoonful of peanut butter there, maybe a soup that I didn't strain all the way that had a couple of potato chunks in it. I've done good with the shakes as well as taking my vitamins, and I have lost 8 lbs since the last time I was weighed (a month ago), so I celebrate those small accomplishments. Like the previous poster said, we didn't get to this point by being savvy eaters. Do the best that you can and make sure you don't eat the day before so you don't get sick. Good luck!

Topic: RE: pre-op diet ?
Yes, protein shakes are the exception.  I asked my NUT the same question because her instructions said no dairy but most of my shakes are mixed with FF Lactaid milk.  She said that was okay.

Hello Everyone, I had the Laproscopic Gastic Bypass on Oct. 23rd.  I am finding that I really need to keep going back to my book that my Surgeon provided, and using the Spirometer and walking is something I am having to make myself do!!  I go to the Dr. for my first visit since surgery on Thursday and I can't wait to be able to start some good things to eat!!!  Cream of wheat, Mashed potatoes etc.. Soo excited about that!!!

Hey how's everyone doing?  We only have 2 more days and it's so hard to believe.  What are your thoughts now?  I'm trying to pack, make sure I bring everything, etc. Still have to work tomorrow, then it's here!
