Hi Sherry, are you going to MMPC? If you are they have their own food that you buy. It's usually 1-2 weeks that you are eating it. For me it was 800 calories a day & 64 oz. of water. Most of the food was tolerable & just keep in mind what it is for. Nan

yes I am going to MMPC,so it is food you eat On the 2 week diet ? I was thinking it was them shakes ? I cant wait for the next step !! Sherry

Actually they have spaghetti, chili, oatmeal, protein bars & soups & other things to. I went through this 1 1/2 years ago. I am sure things have changed a little. But the food really wasn't too bad considering what it could be. There were also 8oz. protein drinks for after surgery. The only one I had was chocolate. My favorite was the chicken noodle soup & protein bars. They also had high protein jello that I mixed with sugae free jello. At least you eat a little more then. Like I said, I am sure things have changed a little. They also gave us a list of recipes to use. Let me know when you go for the pre surgery class. If I happen to be down there I would go with you if you like. I have 3 grandaughters that live in Grand Rapids. Nan
