Worried! Need Some Helpful Advise!

hello, I have just started my gastric sleeve weight loss journey. I have yet to recieve the surgury(through Alberta Health) as I still have a few appoitments to go to beforehand. I have to get a "scope"? I think thats what its called..lol...the camera thingie they put down your throat. Im just wondering if anyone else has had it done, and if so, how was it? Im a little worried about it. I start my pre op diet tomorrow, 1 cup of food per meal, and it has to be healthy. any suggestions as to what foods I can eat that will help keep me full while still following the rules? Im so excited to be apart of a great support group! looking forward to getting to know you all eh!!!! lol Im Canadian......

You should post this on the board under the questions and answers because people can find it there easier.

Stick with protein and low carb . Tuna with lowfat may and pickles is always good.

I had and Upper GI instead of an endoscope. Nothing going down my throat and I was glad for that despite the fact that the reflective material they make you drink is NASSSSTTTYYYYYY.

As for foods I think it would be similar to what you will eventually eat after surgery. Protiens in general keep you fuller longer. Tuna with light Mayo, Cottage Cheese, Greek Yogurt and String Cheese are all easy high protien foods. Oatmeal seems to be filling as well and has much needed fiber.

Hope this helps, good luck!
