I am a week post op and I have trouble with the liq. diet and the shakes from costco are about all I can tolerate. I like crystal light if its cold. Can you tell me if eating popscicles are okay and when I get on soft foods will cottage cheese and hummus be included?

I am not a big fan of protein drinks, but I did manage to find one that I can manage to get down. Once you are home try a Gladiator smoothie from Smoothy King. You can look it up on their website but if I remember correctly the 20 oz drink has only 183 calories and something like 43 or 45 grams of protein. You pick your fruit flavor and I like the strawberry lemon. When I got home I started walking the mall (August is Texas is too hot to walk outside) and they had a Smoothie King in the mall so it was nice to be able to get one.
Good luck to you!!! I'm sure you will do great.

hi boilerbabe...excuse me for being nosey, but today i was doing my pre-op at the hospital i am having my rny at and they had my dr listed as dr ferrari...my surgeon is dr robert davis so they made the correction---no big deal....however, i was wondering if dr ferrari in houston is your surgeon and did you use herman-memorial west in houston??? i understand if you dont want to put your business out here...i am just checking for an opinion on hospital stays...thanks a bunch and continued success!!!!
Hi Nana. Yes, he is my surgeon and that is the hospital where I had my surgery. Dr Ferrari did my surgery in August of this year and my husband's in November of last year so over the past year I have spent a lot of time at the hospital. I have to say that everyone there was extremely nice and very helpful. Rest assured that you are going to be in very good hands.
Have you received the information about the support group yet? I originally got it from Dr Ferrari's office, but also from the dietician at the hospital and from the nurses. We meet the first Wednesday of every month and I have to say that they are a fabulous group of people!! Very supportive and have wonderful information to share. I hope that you will be able to join us soon. When is your surgery?
Best of luck to you!!!
