Hello everyone -
I have a question that I have not seen anyone ask yet. I am going to St Francis Hospital for my band on the 22nd! Yay - BUT - our pre-op instructions were eliminate all white foods (i.e. milk, sugar, bread, potato, etc. This applies for the rest of our lives as well according to the Dr.'s diet. Now- I have been on my pre-op diet with 3 shakes a day (Champion brand, really good) and have done pretty well to date. I am currently down 10.6 ;bs since the start and need to get my little design going down below.
Ok getting chatty - my question is that I have been sustituting 1/2 water and 1/2 sugarfree soy milk with my shakes because it is lactose free and high in protein. Has anyone else done that? Without the soy milk, I don't think I would have been able to keep myself on the pre-op liquid diet.
I see a lot of you using milk, and I was told that it turns into sugar after ingested. Is this true? I LOVE milk and hated the thought of giving it up, but the end result is sooo worth it.
Thoughts?
Also - good luck to all of you on Monday! I am a complete believer in pain meds and have a huge bottle of liquid vicadin, some prescription gas medicine, and my liquid tylenol ready to go. I am also picking up some Isopure punch for my post surgery - Thank you so much for that info, whoever put that in the posts!:mad: http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
