What my post-op diet from my book looks like...

[OutsideMatchInside 10,166]

I don't see any copyright on this so I am going to share it. A lot of this I didn't eat personally beacuse I was a diabetic and most of this has too many carbs for a diabetic and even pre-op I controlled my diabetes by controlling my carbs.

Still this is what my program offered as a post-op diet. Hopefully it can help someone that has no diet to follow.

If you have a plan from your Dr, obviously you should follow that plan.

If you don't have a plan from your Dr, hopefully this helps.

I went to a Center of Excellence. I have a 66 page book outlining what to eat, what supplements to take, and what medicines to never take. It outlines how to order at restaurants and what to get. In addition to this extensive booklet I was provided a lot of other pamphlets and handouts on what to do and what not to do. In addition I was give a bariatric plate (never used it tossed it recently), measure cups, measuring spoons, Water bottles (I never used any of it and tossed it all, but still I had it).

If you are in the process of choosing a program, and they don't offer this kind of support, I strongly urge you to keep looking. This is a huge investment of time and money, even if you are covered by insurance (my surgery was covered 100%), it should be supported by the program and staff with a glut of information. There should be no guessing about what and how to eat.

Is this book available publicly? Seems really helpful.
