hi melissa, thxs for replying. what i want to know is what kind of diet does dr. scott have u on after surery. does he have u drinking protein shakes? and what kind of pre-op diet does he put u on? and how soon before surgery does he startit? thxs patty

Patricia Approx 2 weeks before surgery Dr. Scott usually requires you to be on a liquid diet. At that time they usually tell you to have a minimum of 5 protein drinks a day and if your not felling full or satisfied then to add on. After surgery I was on a liquid diet and graduly I got to add thing back into my diet. Dr. Scott will give you a book to follow on what you can eat at what week. Yes, you can have protein drinks thro out your pre & post-op phase. BUT during your first week out from surgery they ask that the protein is clear. Just before your surgery they will have an information class (they use to call it the pre-op class). You will get to talk to the Nurse, Dietitian, one of the Doctors will come in and talk to you. They will talk about exercise, ect... At that time you will get to sample protein drinks. They have one that is orange/pineapple that is consitered clear. And they will tell you were you can get it at there in Columbia. I hope I have answerd your questions. Please feel free to email me if you have any more or if I can be of help to you. God Bless Melissa
