That would be the last time I ever stepped foot in that place if someone got on me in any way shape or form!!

My doc and nut in Utah are against liquid calories, reason why they don't have us on protien drinks. Also was told coffee, milk and juices were no nos but I do know these diets are very similar to ones they have with bleeding ulcers and you hear of leaks months after the surgery. I for one would rather give up those than have a leak! High acid foods are out. I would say the Soups are because they move through your stomach fast and leaving you feeling less full but all in all, creamed Soups are loaded with calories. Chili not sure why unless its the hot chili because my doc promotes Beans big time.
Giving up certian foods for now in order to loose the weight is just something we need to do or risk failure and no one wants that. And I have to remember, this is a life style change.
I always go with my body, my decision as to what I eat. I can't go back to eating what I was, no way no how. In time like with any habit, you have to change the way you think and that takes time. With this, you have to eat but we just have learn to eat to survive, not survive to eat.
Ive seen 3 nuts, One's delivery was pretty blunt and I wans't a big fan of hers but they all had the same message. 70% protien, 30% veggies .... thats about it for me.
WIll I eat some things I shouldn't? YES, at times it will happen, will I do it often, no.
As I am typing this, my bf is drinking creamed sugared coffee and a frozen bagel sandwhich.... I just have to drink my Water and listen to his heart protesting lol

Shapewear....ugh... Not a Spanx fan, rolls down big time! But there is a excellent Shapewear that doesn't. its Slim-n lift aire from England sold on Shop NBC.http://www.shophq.com/Slim_N_Lift_AIRE_trade_Set_of_Two_Tummy_to_Thigh_Shaping_Shorts/000-736.aspx?storeid=1&track=-20101&cm_re=SearchList-_-N-_-N&page=LIST&free_text=shapeware I think its just clothing and finding some that fit well. Angel jeans fit well. You have done great Don't let the little things get you down

I really haven't had a hard time getting anything down. The Doc I go to is one of the older experienced surgeons and I think they just go with tried and true. I asked about protien powders and Protein Drink and his comment was.. its liquid calories and wants me to get Protein from food, not drink. Thats about all. I do just fine right now with what Im eating. I actually feel normal which makes me happy. 6 months from now we can compare notes on how it went.

You wouldn't be normal if you weren't scared lol. Everything will be just fine!

Thanks everyone. I have major surgerys, never felt this way before. Its all encompassing. I thought I knew what to expect I didn't. Learning to feel full, I know I am going to hate some of the foods Im on after this lol. My doctor has clear fluids for few days, Now on soft foods and can add others at 2 to 3 weeks as needed. They don't want us on Protein Drinks or Soups and the like. liquid calories. I am loosing 2 lbs a day now which is shocking. This was a health decision not with wt loss not a wt loss for how I look. I want to thank all of you for responding. I am sure I will have more ups and downs, thanks goodness I have someone to talk to about it.

Well, my experience so far. Going in was a little scary, but that was expected Everyone was great, no warning of going under, which was cool. Woke up disoriented and in pain. More I came too, better it got. I have on air booties,oxygen and iv. Have morphine pump and nothing hurts but incisions. Drinking Water, can burp easily and cough, no pain. My surgery was 2plus hours later than it was suppose to be. 330pm going in and took half hour is all. IM able to get up with help and feeling little weak. I know this will alll get better quickly, has so far. And I am GLAD I didn't back out. My shoulders hurt from the gas, feels like I layed wrong but but no biggie. So I feel pretty good for surgery 12 hours out. I am going to volunteer my time for anyone in this area, Utah, that would have to go alone get to and from alone and just be there for them before and after surgery. Please consider this your own areas. There are slot going through these things alone and should not have to. Much love to you all. Vicki
