nairali 48 Posted March 11, 2013 Just a little advice to everyone! I'm 5 days post op and my biggest helps so far ar gas x strips, heating pad, walking, body pillows and a tervis cup filled with crystal light. And definitely nothing too hot or too cold. Cream of wheat Jello oatmeal Popsicles Carb master yogurt from Kroger Hunts sf pudding Adkins Protein Drinks or pure Protein or Unjury. I would have someone stock up for u or have it before u go in! If I think of anything else I will post. Anyone have any other good mushies to share? 2 ElleG and Kathy Pitcher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next week I get to me on liquid diet too. I'm jealous of your food choices. One yogurt I would suggest is the DannonLight n Fit Greek yogurt-has 12 grams of protein and 6-8 grams of sugars which I'm told is ok. The only Greek yogurt I found to be tasty. I also hang pretty tightly to the anti-gas and Papaya Enzyme tablets. The papaya is a natural enzyme that aids in digestion. I've been having a really tough time with nausea and reflux. Hoping it ends soon! 1 nairali reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nhnurse1 108 Posted March 11, 2013 Hello everyone I had my pre-op appointment today. I am down below my required pre-surgery weight and I am getting so nervous about surgery. It is only a week away. My kids said I have been grumpy and it is because of my pre-op diet, lol. I am thinking about each and every one of you and wishing you all a speedy recovery. 3 nairali, Blaq_Butterfly and Kathy Pitcher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElleG 394 Posted March 11, 2013 I was relaxing watching the tube and got a e mail from my surgeons office saying my case is in review and we should have a authorization in a few days. I just got that jolt of nerves and my gut said ( oh crap) this is getting real. I have been cool as a cucumber up to now Please keep your fingers crossed for me. 1 Kathy Pitcher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gurlygirlrcr80 95 Posted March 12, 2013 Yes! I'm almost a week post op and still having those feelings. I know its the pains and the thought of not eating my favorite foods which see to come on tv every other commercial. But having faith in the decision i made in January was the one that would set me up for a better more healthy life. The minute I think about Texas toast covered with cheese and burger and bacon I think about not eating that and how smoking I'm going to look in my bikini.....
