Mooseheads11, is this the post op eating plan for VSG?

Yes, that's for VSG.

I wonder what DS post op diet is? I've read Charline's lap band diet and mooseheads vsgb one. I find that one a little hard to follow.( I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed) I posted the RnY post op diet. So we only need a couple of more. Strange how they are all a little bit the same and still a little bit different.


I don't know about the other types of surgeries but I can find 50 variations on the post op RnY diet depending on which RnY site I visit. I guess that's why I only follow Dr. B.'s diet because there are so many different ones. Is it the same with other surgeries?

Hi Maggie,

The only DS-er that would know for sure what the post-op diet is going to be like is CLawrence as she's been through it. The rest of us just have to wait until we get to see Dr. Savoie to find out. :-D

Here's what some fresh post-ops from the DS board ate: www.dsfacts.com/Post-Op-Eating.html

And here's a sample of the DS post-op diet from Cornell: www.cornellweightlosssurgery.org/pdf/diet_guid_duod_swit.pdf

I know prancing nugget, I can hardly wait for someone on our forum to have the surgery and come back and tell us. Seems like we are all family here and almost like we all know each other.
