Pre Op food shopping

Hi guys...Im goin in on the 18th abnd Im starting to go shooping for my protein. I know its been posted all over the place but I need to know whats a good receommendation for a protein drink. Im not really a milk drinker so I want to mix this with water. Im picking up som baby food but what do i get..stage 1, 2, or 3...lol Also guys I posted a week before had that I was looking for a angel to carry me through. No responses yet but Im hoping one of you will step down and give me a hug.

I'd get some baby food of each varying stage. Gosh, I'll tell ya though.. I find that the plain meat ones are bland and gross. So are some of the veggie ones. Yes, I have tried a dab of each food when giving it to my daughter. Lol.

I was looking at some baby foods and noticed alot of sugar carbs in them. Worried about dumping possibility. I am still pre-op with no date yet. I am however looking into things to eat when I finally am post-op. Darlene

Hello Ms. Tee~~ Below is a link from a post regarding protein drinks!! Try and get some different samples, as your taste will change after your surgery. Hope this helps you. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/messageboard/postdetail/1025634.html?vc=0 I would be very careful about eating baby food--it has lots of sugar. Didn't your dr give you a food plan to follow? If not, call the office tomorrow and ask for one. Also, be careful of Sugar Alcohols. Here is a link that explains them. http://www.formyhealth.com/sugar_alcohols.htm Alice

Don't buy a lot of stuff, you taste may change after surgery. I went and bought everything in acvance and could not stand the taste afterwards, so mine went to waste. See how your taste is doing, and what sounds good to you first. Get the basics, sugar free jello, pudding and maybe 1 type of protien drink. I started with the sugar free carnation instant breakfast drink, and added some protein powder for added nutrition(also it helped mask the taste of the powder****il I found one I liked. By the way did you find an angel yet? Betty Jo Lap RNY 7/11/03 399.5/207/150
