I e-mailed the dietician about what the other doctor told me, and she called me today with changes. I was extremely happy!

She said I could eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup at a time, but should try to go for the Protein things like yogurt, cottage cheese, Beans etc. I need to get 3 cups in daily. No drinking for 30 minutes before (?) or 30 minutes after.

Next week I should start soft protein like chicken, tuna, and fish. :)

On the 15th of November she will call me and I can start solids! :eek: :o:o

Now, this is the way I thought it should be! So, now I am a "Happy Camper"!

That's great!! Cottage cheese and apple sauce will never have tasted so good.

Did she give you any explanation for why the doc gave you such bizarre instructions/restrictions during your appointment with him?

It almost sounds like he thought you were a GB patient - or that he treats lap-band and GB the same post-op. I would hope that she will set him straight.

Woo Hoo!!! food at last, LOL! Good for you, Betty! I'm glad you followed through and got the proper instructions. Sounds like your doc, his assistant and the nutritionist need to communicate!

Paula - I posted it on the other thread, but here goes:

I have lost 35 pounds all together:

20 pre-op but gained 6 back from liquids in hospital, left me with 14 pound loss. Then I lost 21 so far post-op so, altogether 35 pounds. Now, if I just don't gain it back now that I can eat real food! lol

Thanks for the compliment Paula!

Kim - She said some people like to eat the smaller portions, but if I didn't then I could do the 1/2 cup. She didn't say why he wasn't strarting me sooner on the foods, but she explained it all to me the right way, so I wasn't going to complain.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
