countdown

Well the countdown is on.
I had bloodwork done today a call from the pre admi office..things must be starting!! She told me I'd never drink pop again. I had never heard or read about that, not that I recall anyway I knew for several months.. anyway i only have a diet pepsi every other day or so. So i'm not worried about it anyway.

I find I am eating lots this week and having all my fav meals.. a last chance kind of thing.. anyone else feel like that before your surgery? I'm sure its normal..

I did....I had a prime rib dinner for my last birthday plus mcdonalds and such.

And I don't know about the pop because I still drink pop...I think it depends on the person.

Thats waht I had originally thought, (it depends on the person) because generally I hear alot of that here. Where some people can eat one thing and others not at all.. weird.

My first few weeks should be do-able since I already love yogurt and cottage cheese and cream soups etc.. need help finding that unflavoured protien to add into them but i do have skim milk powder for the double milk recipes that work too :)

Wait until after ýour surgery to buy the beneprotein they give u numerous samples to try and trust me I agree wih everone it is horrid. See what u think 1st. I'm 7 days post op and the fld diet is pretty easy so far. Arleme

lol, amanda called and that is what she said. Don't buy it first they will give u samples and you may not like it! good call..
I hope I like it. It will make things easier I imagine

Crap !  I just ordered two containers of Beneprotein online.  I hope I like it !

See you in a week !  Denise

I seem to be the odd one out but I found it not to bad added to ensure and hot chocolate(light).  I disolve it first in a little warm water to hot and it goes lumpy and then add it to whatever.  It seems to mix better this way.
Good luck with everything.

Hi Dori,

She told you that you'd never drink pop again??? HORSE MANURE!!!!! lol I sometimes drink caffeine free diet pepsi, but I do find that it helps me to pack a couple pounds back on so I normally steer clear of it. If I recall from the handouts from Amanda at Dr Norh's.... it says to avoid carbonated drinks for the fist 2 months (8 weeks). And if anyone tells you to not drink ANYTHING carbonated cause it will stretch your pouch..... HORSE MANURE to them too!!!! lol There's no way it can stretch your pouch cause it has an opening at the top and bottom and the carbonation is either gonna make you burp or toot. lol (Had to think of a nice way to say that last one). 

My last meal before surgery was at Medicine Hat Buffet across from the mall up on Dunmore Drive. BEST buffet I have ever found aside from Tin Tin Buffet and Hometown Buffet (both in the States). Very rarely do I eat out now. Normally when my hubby and I go out to eat, he'll order something to eat for himself, I'll order a decaf coffee and MAYBE pick at something proteinish on his plate. lol 

And...... I wouldn't worry about the last meal syndrome that you're experiencing right now..... you WILL be able to eat your favorite foods again, in time, in SMALLER, healthier portions. It just takes time, my friend. 

If you have ANY other questions, don't be afraid to ask.... you know where to find me. 

*hugs*

Thank you Lori! btw I live in Vulcan but go to lethbridge all the time. It would be nice if we had a group there!
 See you wednesday Denise~~
