My Doctor said not to worry about calories now. I am two days post and just doing liquids. He said not to obsess too much your stomach will tell you how things are going. He did say eat your pretein, starch and veggies in that order.

It was not easy but not hard. Just get liquids you like and keep track on the fridge of Calories. I was on a 1000 cal diet. I bought my shakes at Coscto and organic Soups in the box. I loved cream of tomato, Mushroom and onion. Nothing in them but liquid. Low fact v8 fruit juice, sugar free ice pops, crystal light cherry and some other stuff. I was allowed a lean cusisine under 300 calories ( included in the 1000 daily) on the third day until the sencond to last and last day before OP. Good Luck, I would suggest having one meal of a juicy steak and whatever you like as well before or 1 day in. I also quit smoking so It was hard for me but I did it and now I am 2 days out and soar but so positive for the outcome!! Good Luck and remember the end result.

Banded on October 11th. Home now, still drinking my pain med and feeling much better today. I am drinking some of my protein shake now and will follow with some juice. trying ot figure out the liquid options for the next week or so. I am scared to take a shower with my stictches so I have to figure this part out. Scared to take off the bandages... I am so positive. Funny how all these people I read are already cheating and going back to old habbits. What the heck people!!!

I know there is another topic about Vitamins but its oldand I need some help. I feel a bit in the dark and need some POST OP help. I amabout three days away from my surgery and the vitamin thing is driving me nuts.I met with the Nutritionist my Dr recommended and wasn't that impressed. I thenmet with some guy who wanted me to but his AMWAY vitamins. Not happening. So myquestion is to you: What do I need to take every day, where should I go to look?I have a Trader Joe, Target and most other major stores near me. Also, I amtold no vitamins until the 3rd week? I read that everyone is taking something differentand I need some basic help so I can ease my mind before surgery. I will alsoask my Dr. as I have an appointment the day before my surgery. Any help wouldbe awesome.

I am in need of a good Nutrionist that specializes in WL patients Post Op. The one that was referred to me is not what I need. If anyone knows a great person that knows what they are doing please contact me! I need someone in Oakland County. I am in Commerce TWP.
