I"m not sure what your suppose to be doing, but I thought this was a 2 week "LIquid" diet??  what did your nut tell you,you can have?

For Dr Cobean and Dr Wolff patients it is called a pre-op diet. Not really a full liquid diet.

When I called they said that I could have the frozen dinner but I am very confussed I will call Monday morning  I did call Dr. Wolff office and the girl that I talked to said I could have a frozen meal I don't know but it is stressing me out BAD. I don't need to mess this up now I have been a year and I half getting this far. but I am lossing weight about a pound a day

Rose,

You are allowed 1 frozen "diet" meal a day on the "Portland" 2 week pre op diet. It isn't a liquid diet for the program in Portland.

Way back when I did the 2 week pre op diet we weren't allowed to have the frozen "diet" meals, but they changed that shortly after I had my surgery and Kathi G from here was able to. We had to do chicken or fish the size of a deck of cards. Its better now than it was back then.

Everything you wrote sounds like you're doing good so far. We weren't allowed to do the sugar free pudding, but we were allowed the sugar free jello, as much as we wanted and all the raw veggies and sugar free dressing we wanted. I lost 8 pounds on the 2 week pre op diet. I was hungry every freaken day of it. I thought that 2 week diet was the worst part of the process for me, even with the complications I had, I would not wanna feel like I felt during those 2 weeks ever again.

Good luck to you on your journey.

well, that sounds tough, but seems alot better then the liquid diet.  once you got this figured out you will do fine.  and done before you know it.  good luck and keep the faith, you can do this.

Thank you that really helps me alot and If you think I am on the right track I feel better I hope the pudding is ok I am doing my shakes to .

Thank you now I can sleep tonight. LOL

Sounds right to me!  I lost 12 lbs in that  two weeks.

Oh yeah, Dori is right.  Skip the pudding and go for the jello.  I am not sure about the Cottage Cheese either.    Check it out at www.cascobaysurgery.com
