KAISER Pre-Op DIET?? Is there one??

What has your Pre-Op Diet been for those having open RNY.  Is Kaisers a structured meal plan OR Liquid OR Low Carbs eat when ever else sort of plan...etc?? Just wonder what I may have to do at some point? Also if there was a diet when did you need to start that?

There is not really a pre-op diet that you need to follow.  I was on full liquids 24 hrs prior to my surgery.  I went mainly low carb, low fat, low or no sugar before that. and low salt too. Peggy

Thanks Peggy...I am sort of bummed :) lol I know prob sounds stupid but since I have a long time before I even get close to having to really worring about a Pre-Op Diet.  I need structure!!! I like to have a speciffic list of foods or a meal plan/or be told exactly what to eat the first few weeks...That always seems to work for me...It is when I start to venture off on my own that I don't do so well...I guess I just need to be shown examples etc.

Hi I know exactly how you feel :) I have been watching your posts :) I have just completed the freedom from diets class last week, I think you mentioned the 5 week class, you will learn many things and many things we know already but many ya just don't think about addressing or seeing certian things in a different light.  Flying solo I like to call it (going it on our own with a healthy eating way of life) is very hard for everyone :) and like my teacher Bob kept saying it takes time and we should not beat ourselves up on it. I am trying so hard to get this ball rolling on my surgery, I never wanted anything more in my life aside from the well being of my two beautiful sons, I always put me on the back burner and now I have to DO it that means taking time to go to class ,arranging appointments ,excersising , journeling, and get this DONE!!!!!!!! LOL I have been sooooo ready 5 years ago but always said maybe I will fully go next time or something came up. This is about me and me getting better to enjoy my life with my family so I will go the disstance :) I hope all is going well for you and if ya ever want to keep in touch email me [email protected] .......Take care Regina what ever you do if your ready for this DON"T give up keep on the up and up with it. There will be alot of hoops but it will not keep you away from what you want in your heart:)
