BETSY IN NEW JERSEY

Hi, All the best of good luck and success. Reading the replies I can see the post op died differs from doctor to doctor a great deal. I am seeing my surgeon tomorrow and my program from the nutrionalist has me on shakes (slim fast high protein) and then a dinner or lunch of 4-6 oz. of protein, 1 or 2 servings of bread/starch like 1/2 potatoes, corn, lima beans, 6 saltine crackers, 1 1o slice of whole grain bread and 2 cups of non-starchy vegetables and one snack of small cup fresh fruit, one cup fresh cut up fruit, one oz low fat cheese or 1 cup law fat artificially sweetened or non-fat plain yogurt. Check with your doctor but I haven't even been able to eat all this as I have been so busy with my grandkids. I have already begun to lose weight which is encouraging me to stay with this and I too heard about this whole liver issue. Good luck and keep posting. Betsy

HI, i have not gone on chat lines before but I was baby sitting last night and found a post by Sara who provided a very comprehensive list of things to get to prepare for the surgery and coming home. So I would like to ask how people are dealing with getting in all their fluid? I have started this past week on my pre-op eating program and being so busy have trouble getting in all my liquids. Suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks, Betsy in New Jersey Excited and a little nervous for lots of reasons that I am sure many of you can relate to.
