OK, so I've been wanting to ask this for a while, but I kinda just skirted the issue.

I LOVE my surgeon. He's rad, and so is his fellow. His office ladies are nice and knowledgeable, too. BUT, I do not have a nutritionist. The office does not employ one. Truthfully (I was scared to say this out of the gate), I'm super jealous of the people on the boards who talk about the lists and so forth they got from their nut for each phase of eating early post-surgery. My "lists" were so vague that they were laughable in my opinion.

Well, you live and learn. I bought a few books on WLS diets and have searched for the answers to my questions as necessary. What I want to know now is this-do any of you guys and/or gals know a detailed web site with nutrition guidelines for RNY? I am 3 months out and have been cleared for "all foods" at this point. I know what my pouch likes and what it doesn't...but I feel like I could be doing "better". Can anyone help me?

Thanks for reading that novel...I didn't mean to be so all over the place.

Hi, Georgia!

Don't know if you did this already, but you may want to post this on the RNY board. I'm sure someone there can chime in on their experience and "lists."

Also, I was curious, so I found this on the OH site. Don't know if it is worth looking at or not as I do not have the RNY:

Best of luck!
