Question for Before Surgery
I have only just requested my doctor to put in a referal for surgery.....so I realize that it will be likely up to a year before that happens. In the meantime, I would like to learn about and to start trying to do without the foods that I will NOT be able to eat post surgery. I think that it would be much easier on me if I started now to get used to my new eating lifestyle.....so PLEASE help me as much as possible begin this process. What foods to I need to learn to do without ? ......and has anyone else tried this idea and is it a good one or not ?
People do start to limit the foods but it is hard. Biggest thing I can say is limit your fluids while eating. Get used to not drinking soda, and not drinking while eating and for 30 mins after. You can even limit breads, pasta, rice. Start taking your vitamins now, that is the hard part for a lot of people. Start walking 30-45 mins a day.
Most people are able to tolerate most foods after surgery. There is really nothing I can't eat. It's important to understand that.
Still, there are foods you want to limit because they are high in fat, sugar and calories. I'm guessing you already know what foods are not healthy choices.
