November 7 in Tijuana Mexico for me, coming from Fort McMurray Alberta. Looking forward to a new me. Worried about being able to "stick to the plan" after surgery since I know food is a crutch for me and I have a lot of head hunger. I've been saying goodbye to a lot of food the last two weeks (oh precious, precious popcorn, I will miss you so). What are you people doing to prepare yourselves for the food restrictions after surgery?

I got my pre-op food plan and I do not have to have a liquid diet except for the day before surgery!

I have a special food plan which is 3 meals and 2 Snacks a day with 1 or 2 snacks (or breakfast) should be a Protein Shake with skim milk and even certain fruits added like 1/2 cup strawberries! You do need to have 4oz. Of fish or 3 oz. of chicken or 4-5 oz. of tofu or Protein meat substitute (in case you are vegan) in at least 1 meal. I am soooo happy! Meals can include things like 1/2cup black bean Soup, 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese or ricotta cheese and all the non starchy veggies I want!

I wonder if they want you to be in good shape and not feel starving when you have surgery so you will feel and heal better? All I know is I am grateful!

My last labs, ECG and pre-op class is this Tuesday. I will bring some organic soup labels to see if any are acceptable as they say 1/2 cup soup in the plan. I'll keep you posted on that!
