Hi Susan, this is going to be an interesting time for you. Just how difficult it will be depends

entirely on you. If you have a lot of intestinal fortitude, you'll probably do well, and if not,

it can be quite difficult. You can be creative with your diet and search Google and the food

forum on this site to find a lot of ideas to make your meals more interesting. Or you can

whine about not being to eat ice cream and donuts. Sorry, I'm grumpy tonight.

I've had a very easy time of it and I guess I'm spoiled.

From the little bit of your intro, I'd guess you are going to follow your surgeon and nutritionist's

advice and do very well. I hope you do.

no whining yet. havent even wanted ice cream yet. so far i drink the broth from ramen noodles and my hubby eats the noodles. lucky him lol. and also myoplex 42 g Protein shakes. as much as i can handle. usually getting 1.5 a day so far. and for dieting, guys usually have it easier! maybe if youre grumpy, youre not having it so easy tho! whats healthier if youre not happy, lol.
