i got a call today and my appt was  change  for july 1   she told me what to go on a protein diet 

IAM HAVE THE SLEEVE ON WED.  THE 30 OF JUNE I HAD SOMEONE TO TELL, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON A DIET FOR 2 WEEKS IS IT TO LATE AND SHE SAID. I SHOULD BE TO A PROTEIN DIET I THOUGHT I GO ON A DIET 3 DAY BEFORE THE SUGERY SOMEONE HELP

Congrats, prayers and good wishes!

I would suggest that you have Dr. Richardson's office work closely with your OB. Maybe staying within the Oschner network would be a good idea.

All my best,

Frances

I think it will get better. A big problem with all of us is that we want to decide "yah" or "nay" in the weeks/months after surgery.

I don't do well with frozen or canned stuff, but even that has gotten better in the last few months.

I would suggest overnight soaking to draw the air out of the beans. Change the the water a few times if possible. Then, make the soupy and rich. I use brown, long grain rice types or leave it out. Short grain rice will start to clump immediately especially if it's cooked with the lid on and gets sticky.

These days I make them fresh with 'lots' of onions, lean sausage bits and, strangely enough, served with fresh avocados.

Be prepared to give your body a full year before you can see what will work and what won't.

Hey, also, I got a ladies fit Cowboy jersey and I can't bring myself to throw it away. My hubby-skin has threatened violence against it. I want a cute, tight Saints or Skins shirt by Fall. Do you want me to send it to you all? It's an Emmit Smith.

Onward!
Frances

First, hi neighbor. 

Congratulations.  I would call my surgeon's office.  I am sure they can recommend someone.
