I am on the pre-op diet (surgery next Thursday the 20th) I am on Optifast and have been doing 2 Soups a day and 4 shakes. I just realized I am almost out of Soup and can hardly stomach the shakes. (not much of a sweet person and they are so sweet and expensive. Are there any other soups available that I can substitute with?
:smile2:
I love all of those and sushi but I didn't know with the preop if they had too much sodium or calories ect. When did you start eating those..before? right after? or after healing?
From reading it doesn't sound like anyone really drinks. Did anyone drink before? After? I like to drink a couple of drinks 3 or 4 times a week. Is this someting I need to give up?:confused2:
I am having my surgery with Dr Kim on March 20, 2008. I am glad to hear he is good and well as TLC. I was planning on having my surgery on Thursday and going back to work on follwing Tuesday. Is that enough time?

I am glad you are feeling so good only a week after! I was planning on taking Day of surgery which is a thursday and going back to work on Tuesday. It sounds like I may need to wait another day. Has everyone doen the 2 week liquid diet? That is what I am most worried about.
Thank you for the welcome and I am very excited to become a "bandster". How long does it take to recover so I know how long to ake off work? How fast have people lost weight?
