I do not take Iron pills, but it was not on my list of post op supplements from my Dr.

i have multi vit with 36gm of iron and my pcp dr ordered me some just hope i dont take in to much iron

I am anemic so I have to include iron with my vitamins. definitely talk to your doctor for advice

Yay!

I had my surgery August 18, 1 week ago today. Don't you have a meal plan? You should start eating yogourt, light soups with protein added, pureed fruits, lots of stuff. I have it all planned for me until week 5 where it gets more general.

I hope your dietitian knows about bypass and she can help you come up with a real meal plan.

Good luck!

I have had 2 weeks of protein before and 2 weeks of protein after tomorrow i go to the dietitian .I think i go on a soft food diet after that

thanks i have learned alot of good stuff from this site

let us know how you are doing post as soon as possible.

Good luck!

I am on a pre diet now my surgery is Friday. my pre diet was 3 protein shakes and a lean cuisine and a cup of vegetables. boy are you having to use your will power. good luck on everything

I did 18 days Lisa and found it fine once I had got over day 4 and 5 and the worst headache ever. You CAN do it. I did eat a few sf popsicles a day though, just for something to chew. They were a lifesaver. Good Luck .. !!

I just started today 3 protein shakes a day vitamins and 2 other foods like jello or pudding suger free

shrinkingpeach when they did the upper gi i had a hernia but they aven't said anything about it so i guess it's ok

mine was never discussed, had no idea I had one. He just did it while he was in there. apparently they are pretty common in people who are overweight

I hope they fix while they are in there i see the dr on the 5th before the surgery day i think the 28th i start the 2 week pre surgery diet i think it's protein shake's

i was VERY lucky. my doc told me i could skip puree's - but many people have no problems dealing with it!!! i understand you're not thrilled - but you must do what you are told!! glood luck kathy

good luck next month

kathy

hang in there it will hopefully be this month! I will keep my fingers crossed.

I still have to go every 2 week's for weigh in's

hang in there, before you know it the day wll be here and you can sit next to me - on the losers bench!

thank's jane13
