CarryOn7 61 Posted August 23, 2013 welcome to the group!! do you have to do preop diet? We alo have a Facebook group that is set to private if you would like to join add your email and qoute this message. reeves6@gmail.com I am going to start a low cal, low carb diet, that uses the Dry Meal rule. it gets you started for how you will eat from surgery on. 3 meals a day 700-800 cal 40-50 carbs 60-70 Protein. Breakfast 1 Protein (pref a Protein shake 20-30 grams) 1 fruit 1 dairy lunch 1 protein (pref another shake) 2 vegetables dinner 1 protein 2 vegetables Only Proteins allowed Protein Shake or 3/4 C low fat cottage cheese or 2 whole eggs or 3 oz cooked meat (skinned, fat removed, not breaded not fried, no processed meats like bacon, ham, lunch meats, hot dogs etc) this protein is only when you really feel you need something more. red meats are longer to digest, chicken & seafood is better. Only dairy allowed 8oz 1% or skim milk 6-8oz light yogurt (no more than 20grams of carbs) 1 part-skim string cheese fruit & veg's best is fresh follow the serving size on them. no potatoes, no corn, no peas, or any other starch veg's can use frozen, the just recommend rinsing them. if you have to use canned drain & rinse. if & only if you need a snack, use a shake. make sure to count the calories & most of all that they stress a GOOD Multivitamin that has 100% of the RDA Calcium 1200 mg w/ Vitamin D at least 400 IU make sure they are all chewable, Gummy or liquid. *this diet isn't that bad they say that its expected to be 12-20 lbs weight-loss, it's nothing like the liquid diets I have seen on here. no matter which diet everyone has GOOD LUCK!

anggeorge 12 Posted September 11, 2013 Hello! My surgery went very well. Discomfort on the 9th was really high, but on the 10th I felt so much better. Minimal pain meds so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
