April Dates

[IChatman 24]

I'm going in April 23rd!!! My doc said I will be on a liquid diet for 3 weeks after surgury and not to eat anything else until I see him. Any suggestions as to the groceries I need to stock up on? What to pack as well

I only got three from my Dr. But they knew I ordered so many on my own, so they probably thought I didn't need them!

I think your feelings are normal--plus you haven't gotten any instructions from your doctor yet. I would definitely suggest you pick up some different Protein powders to find one you like. Wait to order your Vitamins till after your appt with the doc--they might give you some samples. But definitely get some because they are very important to take after surgery. You don't want any Vitamin deficiencies.

As far as the coffee goes' date=' all docs are different. Mine had me quit two weeks before the surgery; others don't care. But AFTER the surgery you cannot have coffee with caffeine because it may cause ulcers on your brand new baby pouch. It also causes dehydration and you're gonna have a hard enough time getting your liquids in. I think once you are 6 months out, you can try adding caffeine back in, but it's best to ask your doctor what he recommends.

once you have the Pre-op appt with your doc, I have a feeling you'll get more in the game.[/quote']

Thanks Wendilou, you've been very helpful!! I'll talk to you soon!! ))

I started getting my Protein a few weeks before surgery. As for the coffee and Creamer it is best if you do de-cafe on a liquid diet if you have to do one and after surgery to help the healing process. But always talk to your Dr. to see if you should start cutting back on the coffee and creamer. I saw on the paperwork my dr office gave me non dairy creamer.
