Confusing!

I wish this all wasn't so confusing, all the stuff you have to know, the medicines to take post op! Any help ideas would be great!

Do you have a surgeon yet? If not, shop around as there are apparently huge differences

in the kind of follow-up care you get. My pre-op diet was 2 weeks low-carb diet. Post-op

was 2 days liquid, 1 week full liquids, 1 week puree, 2 weeks soft food, and then regular

food. Very easy! But the best part is, the follow-up is a 2 year program with monthly

meetings with the nutritionist, exercise trainer, and psychologist, plus regular follow-up

with my surgeon. The nutritionist gave me a notebook with easy instructions and

suggestions for each stage, when to add Vitamins, etc. Very straightforward and easy.

It doesn't have to be complicated. I feel so lucky I ended up in such good hands!!

Good luck to you. This is an amazing journey!

Great! As you get into it, you'll find they'll be a lot of help. Just take one step at a time.
