I am post open day 8 today. I was only to have clear fluids the first week. Today I get to start shakes and pureed food. My fat free black bean fried beans and protein powder burned my pouch really bad.

My surgery is July 16th. I started my liquid diet today (a day early) My stomach is really growling. I have a good attitude and I hope it stays that way!!!

My surgery is July 16th!!!!! I am getting scared!! Start my pre ops diet July 9th

My surgery is July 16th. I am getting scared and thinking the same stuff.... I keep saying to myself " what am I thinking" I know I will be much healthier and my broken back will thank you me over and over!!!! I don't want to back out but I am worried about how o will feel when I wake up.....

I had my endoscopy yesterday and my mega blood work up for all the vitamin levels. The scope was not bad at all. It was over quick and when i woke up i didn't know anything had went on. They found and removed a few stomach polyps and then took several biopsies. My stomach has been hurting and kinda burning. I hope that is normal after having stuff taken out of there.

Your yard is beautiful Sounds like your doing pretty well. I haven't had my surgery yet but in a few weeks. I hope i do well as your doing with getting liquids down... Good luck in your recovery!!

Congrats on your surgery date!!!

I put up a topic of Unjury protein powder. I got my Unjury yesterday and i just made the vanilla one. I love it!!! its really smooth and doesn't have a strong taste that will gag you. I am going to stick with this now.

I just thought i would share this. I have been trying all different kinds of protein powders getting ready for my surgery. I have heard good things about Unjury so i went on Amazon.com and found it was cheaper there so i bought the vanilla, unflavored, and the chicken broth protein powders. I just tried the vanilla and its very good. I put it in my Vitamix with a little ice and skim milk and blended it. It was smooth and not gritty at all!!!!! I don't like little pieces of anything floating around in my mouth after i drink something. I hope this helps someone that is searching for a protein powder.

Welcome and the best of luck on June 20th

thank you for your responses Yes i researched my surgeon. I was highly recommended to him by my sisters gastro doc. I also have to go to a center of excellence for my insurance. Its funny that you mention being dropped after they get your money because that was the first question i asked at the seminar. I to am not a fan of you care about me until you get my money and then when you do, you don't know me anymore! I will ask again tomorrow though. Thank you for reminding me to bring it up again. You both have been helpful... thank you

hahahaahaa Well i guess you will be tooting a lot I love lentil. i thought about making a little bit on lentil soup and freezing it for when i can start eating soup. Good luck with your bean eating.

I see my surgeon tomorrow for the first time. I hope and pray that they are still going to tell me that i am having surgery by July 1. I have all my questions written down to take with me. The only thing i have left to do is the EDG scoop. i am so nervous i can't sleep If anyone knows of something i really need to ask please speak up! thanks

Awesome!!! I can't wait to get those kinda of surprises

I think that its the protein they are focused on not the carbs. I think 1/4 a cup of cooked lentil is about 15 carbs or about that and it has about 12 to 15 grams of protein. I am trying to figure out what to get that will be best in protein once i have my surgery.
