What to eat and not to eat?

What is everyone able to eat and not eat after having surgery? Is Crystal Light allowed? No sugar, but Splenda is okay? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to get head in the right mind set!! Thanks... Karine

Hi karine, most drs. Are different on what you can and can't have, mine had me on liquid and then on full liquids (soup, pudding, jello, broth...Etc) for about 4 wks before soft food, it just depends, I think all of them encourage crystal light and lots of water!!! I found sf freezer pops at rite aid, they are pretty tasty, also the snowball stands now have sf snowballs, I got a banana one the other day and it was so good!! Anyway, just follow your drs orders and you will do fine, talk to you later!

Oh i thought i was the ONLY one that could eat carbs like i had never had WLS!! CARBS are evil, but i love them , dont know how to stop them and get back to protein!!! I can eat a WHOLE chicken breast too, so i guess i can eat anything like i havent had surgery!! (might help if i would STOP drinking with my meals, huh?)I eat about 1200-1300 cals a day and i cant loose a ounce either and i work out every day, so i dont know what my problem is!!!!I got 15 more lbs (at least) to go to be at my goal, seems like i might NEVER make it there!! DAWN~~
