Hi Joy! I don't know exactly what you mean by preparation for the surgery. Of course I would recommend you follow your doctor's advice to the T. My mother had RNY over a year ago and she can drink milk, although it doesn't always agree with her. She eats pasta all the time and loves it. Good luck to you!

Hello Joy! Dr Simspon did my DS almost 1 year ago... I am 20 lbs from goal and I do eat pasta, and enjoy it! Although I eat much smaller amounts now. I also drink milk, limited amounts though as I developmed a problem with intolerance. I can't stand the soy or rice milks though, so I make sure to take my calcium and drink regular milk when I want some.
