hi friends, just a few questions for ya. I did my shopping over the weekend. I got lots of SF jello, chicken, beef and veg broth, soy protein powder, isopure liquid, carnation SF breakfast mix, carnation dry milk powder, tons of crystal lite, lite apple juice, and lite cranberry juice. (is Cranberry juice ok) I never saw anyone mention it. Im ready as ever, I do have a few questions if anyone can help me. I have always been a stomach sleeper, I know I have to try to sleep on my back for a while but is sleeping on your side or stomach been a proble for anyone? also when I return to work on Monday how will i eat my liquids, is there a certain time, I work from 8 to 5, I will bring my juice, protein mix, jello to work, but do I eat a few small bites throughout the day? thanks!!

First off....Congrats. You are making a good move doing this.

You will be sleeping on your back for a couple of days, there is just know way around that. Get plenty of Slimfast to keep on hand, and all your juices is fine.

You will be fine, and Good luck.

Im glad you mentioned that, i was going to ask could slim fast be one of my liquids... It cant be the regular slim fast right?

Any Slimfast is okay. I use to hate to drink them, but once you start getting your fills you just get use to them. I really like them alot now.

Just a heads up... my Dr. told us to not drink SlimFast... not sure why... I think the main importance is to get a Protein drink. I LOVE the Atkins shakes!!!

Good Luck with everything!!!!

Oh, DAA! Good luck with your surgery!

I am a stomach sleeper, too. I remember that it took me a week to be able to sleep on my stomach. That first week I slept on my side with pillows. It's not sooo bad.

My best pre-surgery purchase: a KitchenAid food processor. I've run through three cheaper food processors in my adult life and they all sounded so loud and scary. This one is a quiet whirrrr. I love it. It's great for making purees.

Me, I tried to eat "meals" of puree. I didn't have much trouble staying satisifed with drinkable yogurt, Protein drinks, cottage cheese, and pureed Soups.

As for Protein Drinks, I love J Robb's whey powder (chocolate). Very tasty and not gritty at all.

Best wishes,

Diane

Best of luck to you on your surgery. I'm sure you will do fine. Please keep us posted.
