Ok so I'm doing preop i know I'm on bariatric advantage shakes an clear liquids I made homemade chicken broth fat free. Are we allowed a little salt and pepper or crushed pepper to season?? I'll call my NUT tomorrow but was wondering what everyone was doing???

I not only had the protein shakes, but the protein soups and powdered eggs. I spiced and seasoned like crazy when on the pre-op diet. When I asked my nutritionist, she said spice all I wnt as long as I shyed away from salt/sodium. There are lots of seasonings out there now days so I didn't miss the salt. Keep up the great work! PS...crushed red pepper was one of my faves!!

My nut had allowed me all type of spices . I will start my preop diet tomorrow. I am allowed to eat 3 oz meat, 3 servings of vegetable , 2 protein shals and 16oz milk.

I used Penzey's Northwoods seasoning on the greens (brussel sprouts) I ate pre-op. I still use it post-op on lots of things.

Hi everyone! i am 5 days post op! i started at 268 i am 248 today. took my first shower and removed the gauze. i am not hungry at all but i miss the sensation of chewing. Things smell funny and sorbets taste super sweet. i couldn't stomach Jello yet. is anyone else having serious gas pains? its like in my chest and everytime i pass gas it seems internal or i am going to poop myself i know too much info but its strange!! i feel achy and sore, its hard getting p from sitting position but its manageable. im still taking liquid Percocet for pain but instead of every 4 hours i am doing every 7 hours to stretch it out. i am sleeping on the couch w hubby bc i can't lay down yet. i have been walking everyday- i walked an hour yesterday i think i overdid it. any advice or things i should prepare for? lol hope everyone is doing great! sorry i was MIA for a few days- between surgery and my mom had a stroke it has been a long week.
