ChristyLove 39 Posted June 4, 2012 Is chicken broth ok for the pre-op diet or just Water and Protein Shakes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyarwenrose 14 Posted June 4, 2012 my doctor is having me drink some chicken broth too, but it's because i have to have a higher salt intake due to my lithium. some doctors allow 1 cup of broth. I'd ask your doctor. Patrick, if you make it secret I will join. I have a lot of coworkers and family on my Facebook that don't know i'm doing this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faganberry 43 Posted June 4, 2012 mine is July 2nd. I'm nervous about some things, disappointed at some of the people that wont support me, but overall extremely excited. I can't wait for July 2nd to be here! I stay busy at work so I don't think about it much there. but it's constantly on my mind when i'm at home. my boyfriend keeps me busy so it's not too bad. i've become obsessed with this website though. I'm July 2nd too! I have only told my hubby and 3 very close friends, and my mom is going with me. I mentioned to my family that I was looking into it a couple of months ago and they *threw a fit* so no more information for them. I don't need to hear it Getting super excited! 3 BlessedBeyondMeasure2012, ChristineS NY and carlab51 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sucks that your fam isn't that supportive. MY aunt had RNY so we've been through this before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faganberry 43 Posted June 4, 2012 That sucks that your fam isn't that supportive. MY aunt had RNY so we've been through this before. My sisters are young, slim and haven't had kids. They diet and work out and don't understand why I don't just do the same. They dont get that they spend enourmous time and energy dieting and working out JUST TO MAINTAIN their weight. I'm a busy wife and mom and am starting 100 pounds behind. When I do what they do I simply maintain as well, there's no loss. My mom is supportive and my husband is happy for me although not exactly thrilled because he's so worried, so I do have some support and I'm happy with that. 1 lil lee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizzybeth 17 Posted June 4, 2012 I would join too but I don't want anyone on FB to know. If it were a "secret" or private group I'd join. Is that even possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick Curl 424 Posted June 4, 2012 The group is set to Private - so only I can invite members, and only other members can view other members and posts. So year it is possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
momoffive 6 Posted June 4, 2012 My surgery date is July 18th and I'm already sick of Protein shakes. I've been on 1 shake and 2 meals per day since April 19. I can't bear to think of a 5 week liquid diet (2 weeks before surgery, 3 weeks after). My doctor is very strict with this eating plan. I would love tojoin you guys on Facebook. How do I do it?
