Hey Alexa, You're doing great. Alexa, did you have open or lap? I'm having Lap on Tues. and no one mentioned staples to me....not yet anyway. So since he said you can eat, what did you decide on, inquiring minds need to know....I have to go the store Sunday.

Hey Ginny- You will not have staples, you will have steri-strips that will fall off in about 7-10 days. Have some different flavored waters of course no sugar added, crystal light, iced teas, etc. You can take any of the clear soups you like and strain the broth the first week...ie...chicken noodle (minus all but the broth) week 2 you can have cream soups, i added the unflavored protein powders to them as well as sugar free puddings...now I know about your allergies, so disregard the ones that have the stuff you can't eat. I also had egg drop soup in the second week. I think week 2 also includes yogurt....sugar free... I will be seeing you soon!! Lori

Grreat information and copied it for my DH...thanks Lori. Looking forward to giving you a hug!

hay ginny...i had lap.... no one mentioned them to me either but i woke up with them anyway LOL sinc ei can eat i had some chicken and tuna salad... black beans.. chicken... crab... and i had quishe? i dunno how to spell it... but it was good... .but i also bought... yogert... cottage cheese... more chicken... egg beaters.... and some boca burgers... good luck.. wheres your surgery?

Alexa, You've had a wide variety already...I thought you would still be on soft food. Good luck. About the staples, Lori answered that for me, I just pray I don't wake up and have open surgery or too much pain. My surgery is at Tampa General, Tues afternoon. So glad its not morning. I am not a morning person at all however I am sure I will not be sleeping much the night before. By the time I get back you will be lighter.

good luck to you... you will do great!!!! i hope all goes well

Thanks Alexa and bless the people who set up this website. It has been a huge help to me & a very happy place for me to come and read and learn. Everyone is so helpful to one another and I like that so much.

Way to go Alexa. Sounds like you are doing great and Congratulations on the weight loss. Keep it up. Carol
