Having surgery tomorrow, have to report to hospital at 5:30 am and it's a 60 mile trip to get there. I'm just finishing up by God awful bowel prep (this is the worst of everything so far). But my NUT and my doc's FNP have got me confused. The book says (and FNP) that after you get on reg food you eat about 1/3 cup per meal until about 6 months out. The papers my NUT gave me shows a sample diet at 6 weeks out and the breakfast has 1/2 cup cottage cheese with berries. So which is it? Maybe it depends on the individual and maybe I am overthinking it trying to calm down for the morning. Any ways, wish me luck. See you all on the other side.........

Irene - congratulations and welcome! Make sure to come visit the August 2011 forum - we have a great group and there is another person on the calendar for tomorrow also!

Good luck sweetie!

I hope everything went great!
