drsanchez31 9 Posted June 15, 2014 I am scheduled for June 28 th... I start my pre op diet on Sunday!! Wondering if we can drink coffee? Tell me about your diet? I've been reading a lot of the posts and watching a few you tube videos and one thing I noticed everyone has a different diet and restrictions. I can keep having coffee, but since I've been told I will be given Decaf after surgery and can't have my Bustelo from home I've decide to wean myself from coffee. Don't want a Migraine hitting me after surgery and I need my family to help out afterwards. I've been told that I turn into the she hulk when I'm deprived of my coffee. So I'm slowly decreasing my intake until I can go three days without coffee and work out my withdrawal issues. I also want to be able to focus on my surgery and not a migraine or withdrawal symptoms.

drsanchez31 9 Posted June 15, 2014 I am about a week and a half post op, I'm on the soft food stage. Anyone have any good food ideas that have Protein? I still have to wait another week before I can purée meat.< /p> I was told that baby food is a good way to get Proteins in. Apparently some of the other patients mentioned that to the nutritionist. I still have to look it up, but ask your doctor if that would be ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MommaCEO 45 Posted June 15, 2014 I have my surgery scheduled for Monday the 16th at 9:50...I am excited and nervous..any of you ladies that already have had the surgery have any suggestions about wearing a bra after the surgery?? With my gall bladder removal, I had one incision right where by bra lays but I went home and did not wear one and did not care..but if I am at the hospital and walking around I want to be decent but not in pain... I was in a hospital gown with an IV for 3 days. My gown was huge and I didn't give a rats ass about how I looked. I was focused on not being sick. With the IV in it will be hard to get a bra on. You will need nurses assistance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cybergirl5710 22 Posted June 15, 2014 In in the middle of my pre-op diet. (surgery Jne 30) It's a total of 3-weeks long. Two-weeks on a 1200 calorie restricted diet followed by a one week protein-shake diet. The first couple of days I had trouble focusing and was tired. Then about Thrusday, I got really hungry. I'm better today. I have to stop taking my arthritis pain 7 days before the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
