thanks Pam!

Hi all, The dietitian gave me portion sizes to stick to today, 50 grams for a serve of red meat etc. Does anyone know if this is the raw or cooked weight? I forgot to ask. Thanks!

I am such an idiot. Don't worry, I have figured it out.

what's UTI?

Hi Sam, That's today! How exciting and scary! Hope all goes well and looking forward to hearing about your experience when you are back online. Merryn.

Hi all, I am hoping to get banded later this year (by Mr. Andrew Smith), and attending my information session with The Avenue clinic this Tuesday night. I have been doing a lot of research before finalising my decision to go ahead with the lap band surgery, and so far I think it seems to be the right option for me. This forum is great, but all of the products mentioned for the post op recovery phase seem to be American products, like 'gas x strips', 'sugarless popsicles' and 'crystal light'. Does anyone have any recommendations for products available in Australia that would suffice for this post op recovery week? thanks, Merryn

thanks all, your advice/suggestions are very helpful. I attended the information session and have decided that this is definitely the right decision for me. My first appointment with the surgeon has been brought forward to tomorrow morning (was meant to be at the end of this month) due to cancellation so I am keen to see what the surgeon thinks. regards, Merryn.

Great advice! thanks Jachut!

Hi tomjerry, It's the after surgery part I am worried about. Any suggestions for products for the week after surgery in particular. thanks, Merryn
