I'm new
Hi All:
I'm new and I just received my surgery date of 12/28/09. I really enjoy this board and I find it very helpful. I am so excited, but scared and overwhelmed as well. Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated, especially with the diet 2 weeks post op. I am having my surgery at BIDMC with Dr. Schneider.

Congrats on your date! What a way to prepare for the new year!!!!
I had 4 weeks of blended diet post-op. Lots of protein shakes and sugar free pudding. mashed potato with chicken broth flavored protein powder was yummy too.

All normal emotions !! But you're in good hands at that hospital and with that Doctor !!! The best advice I can give - is give yourself time to REST !!! Be prepared for an emotional roller coaster, FOLLOW the doctors advice no matter how hard it is, Take your supplements !! Oh don't step on the scale everyday - leave it at once a week !
