Looking for a Kaiser buddy

Is anyone else following the Kaiser post-op diet? I would love to find a buddy or two for support.

Thanks!

I  am a kaiser pt and had  the VSG  on the 28th of June, I am following the Kaiser Diet ..I actually find it pretty easy to follow... How are you doing on it ? 

I think it varies from surgeon to surgeon but I have a set of guidelines from my W. LA team. It's not all that helpful, honestly, so I'd love to hear what other people are doing.

I'm not really happy with So Cals Kaiser post-op support.

I am in N Cal. My surgery was in Richmond. We got an extremely specific diet. One of the significant differences from most plans is it allows no protein drinks. We aren't supposed to ever drink anything with calories after the first few weeks. Even then, it's soup. Not smoothies or anything. Does anyone else have this rule? I guess the idea is that liquids and soft foods don't stay in you stomach long enough to keep you feeling full.

It is amazing how  different each Kaiser is as well. I had my surgery in Fremont  and protein shakes are encouraged to get the necessary protein in  after the
I had my surgery on the 28th  of June , At my 2 week visit  my DR wrote out a meal plan for me .
it has been very easy to follow and I am FULL ...

Hmnn did they redo the plan?
i know they don't want you doing smoothies etc as empty cal.
They do encourage "real" food, prob. because it is easy to lean on the shakes/bars and not get real food in.
I had my VSG in Feb 2010, and have my binder. if you want to compare

I have Kaiser also and they gave me specific diet guidelines for after surgery.  Here's the link in case you want to take a look:  http://xnet.kp.org/misg/bariatrics/after.html   I am 2 weeks post-op and had my surgery at Kaiser West L.A.   I am using the pureed foods as a guideline only, not following it exactly, but am getting my ideas from it.   I can't possibly eat everything they have told me I should be having, but I have as much as I can.   They also encourage the protein drinks.
