allik07 29 Posted June 14, 2012 I got approved June 7th, went in for testing June 12th, and now I am scheduled for surgery ON JUNE 28th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It feels like this journey has taken forever but really only since March. I am so excited to finally get my life back on the right healthy track. Started my pre-surgery diet today! Any tips on recovery, food to eat/not to eat or just some good ol' advice would be greatly appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerseygirl82 18 Posted June 14, 2012 Yay, and good luck to you. This is a very exciting time. I would suggest that if you are planning on getting broth for after surgery you should think about buying regular cans of Soup and straining it for the broth. I tried the canned broth and it did not taste good, I couldnt even force myself to sip it. But if I took a regular can of soup and strained it, the broth was wonderful.

Grandma3 73 Posted June 14, 2012 Lots of popsicles, fat free/sugar free of course! Also, get up and move, move, move, you will recover faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeredithMcFee 98 Posted June 14, 2012 I agree with Grandma3. Sugarfree ice pops pre-op and post op! My husband & I {both banded} love our SF FF ice pops a few times a day even now. Going out to the store now to buy 2 big boxes for the week! And yes, move, move, move..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
