mmpc 6 week diet

Could any other mmpc patients tell me what the 6 week diet consists of? My 6 week appointment is a week late, and I a just want to know, so I can be ready for it.

Ok,  I am a bit slow and there are no stupid questions, I hope.   But I have seen mmpc on several posts and have tried and tried to figure out what it stood for but I hit a brick wall.   Could someone please let me know what MMPC is. Thank you

MMPC stands for Michigan Medical PC... I'm not much help re: the diet at 6 weeks but I have my app't on Monday with them and I can tell you at the time if you'd like. When is your app't??

please let me know monday about the diet.  My 6 weeks are up oct 20, but my appointment isnt  until the 26th.  I dont want to wait an extra week. Thanks

At 6 weeks you get to add more foods (solids) to your diet.  I really looked forward to this one because I could have watermelon and I had been craving it.  It didn't taste as good as I remembered though, lol.

i think i asked u already...we must have been at the hospital the same time...we have the same surgery date and went through mmpc togethre as well...:) they changed my 6 week appt to monday the 29th..it was the 24th of october... when is yours? katrina ps..i also wanted to know too cuz I have been craving watermelon like the other lady said too...sooooo badddd :)

Yes we were in at the same time,  I wrote you a while back..My appointment is on the 26th.I will let you know if I find out anything about the diet. Linda

Watermelon won't hurt you.  The nutritionist gave me the ok at 6 weeks.  There's just not a whole lot of value in it except for the taste.  I put it with my cottage cheese and then it adds flavor to the protein.

Hello...I had my 6 week check today and I wanted to get back with you regarding the 6 week diet. In short, I was given the all clear to try anything (other than fried, sugar, etc.). You'll be given a handout with ideas and options, but she said that as long as you get the 60-80 grams of protein then you can try whatever you wanted. She did give the advice to make sure that breads get really toasted (less likely to "gum" in the pouch) and to try to get 15 grams of protein at each meal and then at snack. If you are going to continue with protein shakes, she prefered to have this as a snack and not as a meal.  I was pleased with the new food choices--maybe I'll start feeling more "normal"!!

Tanks so much for the info. Its good to hear we can start to eat more normal again. I cant wait.
