after surgery ??

am just wondering what the rest of you had to do before surgery? and then after surgery, I no 2 weeks of liquids then purees ? could you let me no what u had ? thanks just have lots of questions Sherry

Hi Sherry Im Carol and Im just starting my pre surgery program. Im on a 1000 calorie a day diet until sunday. Then I start my pre op stuff. My surgery is on May 14. I have to drink a gallon of NuLytely and take some anti biotics on Sunday. When I went to the nutrition classes they color code menus for each week after surgery through your 5th week. Six meals a day 3 of which are high protien drinks. I know this is not alot of info but I hope it helps. Good Luck

You will have foods from mmpc to eat/drink after surgery. I also could have 1% milk with sf carnation instant breakfast and 1 scoop protein, cream soups, sf popsicles, sf jello and puddings, and whatever else they had on the list they give to you. Also you should have your foods from mmpc now or soon...Just before surgery they have you pick out what you want to eat. Keep asking questions its no problem at all.....Hugs Judy

sugar free popsicles were my best friend for the first month or maybe even more... whenver I wanted to munch I grabbed one... I am sure you will do fine... Shawn M.

Hi Sherry, Pretty much what Judy said, we are all here for you. So ask away any time you have questions. That is how we all learned, from all of the generosity and sharing that goes on here. Phyllis

thanks everyone for all the info sherry

Hi Sherry, It won't be long now! Just stick to their plan and all will be ok. I would stock up on the SF popcicles and SF gello. I go down next monday to find out what is next. Things seem to be going good here I had a little problem with constipation the first couple of days but a little milk of magnesia took care of that and thing got a lot better. Good luck we will be thinking of you. Alan
