Are sugar free Jell-o vanilla puddings ok while on the 2 week pre op diet?



My surgeon had me take 4 servings of robard which included pudding. I was allowed to eat sugar-fee jello.. I did add sugar-free pudding too. I had my surgery on 10/2. It went fine. Good luck!

Usually the sugar free jell is permitted (zero carbs). But, the pudding is quite different. At 12g carbs per half a cup, it might be too many carbs for your program. Ask your team about what is permitted and target carbohydrate numbers.

To give you an idea, I was consuming about 45 carbs for the day on the preop diet, and that may well be at the upper end of what most programs allow.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
