Topic: RE: Almost 3 weeks out and I hate food
Hey Bear,
I ddin't know Dr. Burrowes was doing DS now??? If so, that's great news because I believe he accepts Medicaid and SHBP insurance. Is he doing it laproscopic or open? How many DS has he done?
They should have given you a pre- and post-op diet. If not, ask for one.
Immediately post op you will be on clear liquids for about a week. Most of us use Unjury mixed with jello, Crystal Light, or broth. You can also use isopure or the clear Nectar flavors.
"clear" means light should be able to shine through it, so the creamy ones like chocholate, vanilla, strawberry, etc are NOT ok.
As for vitamins, you will be fine with bariatric advantage chewables for the 1st month or so, After that follow vitalady's regime. Do not stress about vitamins early out, just make sure you get in liquids and protein. Believe me, you will be doing good just to get in your water and shakes!
