Diverticulitis

BUMMER!

Was to have my Gastric Bypass Surgery on Tuesday, Oct. 6th, but found out I have mild diverticulitis today. Everything is CANCELLED!!!

I have to be an antibiotics for 7 days and have a colposcopy BEFORE I can reschedule my bypass.

QUESTIONS...do I stay on the Protein drinks that I have now been on for 2 weeks or do I stop and restart for ANOTHER 2 weeks?

NEED WORDS OF WISDOM please!!!

I am so sorry! I can imagine how you feel right now.

Personally if you can deal with it I would stay on them. I think it would be much harder to start again vs. simply stay the course.

Now of course that all depends on quickly they are going to reschedule you. It

If is longer than a week or two I would go back to a high Protein very low carb diet.

I have had diverticulitis before, and actually they put me on a liquid diet because the Dr. said it helps the digestive system heal faster.

Good Luck!
