Wow so im only about 13 days away from my surgery, and still so many questions. Will they ever all be answered. Im hoping some of you can help. When we are able to eat solid foods, and we can only have 1/2-1cup of food at a meal, how do you portion that out? How much meat, how much veggies, and if any how much carbs? If you could use ounces i would appreciate it. I still have a butt load of shopping to do to get ready. Im not sure i will EVER be ready. But im at least going to try to be. Also do any of you eat or have a Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice meal as your meal instead of cooking? Like if youve had a busy day or something. Obviously you shouldnt eat them all the time everyday, but do any of you use them? And also what are some of your typical meals. The kind of meals you eat over and over because they go down easily. Im just trying to get as prepared as possible. Oh also have any of you tried adding say....fruit punch, or any other flavor of crystal light to a vanilla Protein shake? Just wondering how it tasted. So any input is welcome. Thanks all. Wish me luck too!!!!!
