This is just an informational posting, but I thought it would be helpful to some to get an idea of what your surgeon/nutritionist may recommend. These are from Alexian Brothers Health System out in the Northwest suburbs of IL. I'm working with Dr. Wallace and the Kane Center out in Hoffman Estates, and will have my surgery at St. Alexius hospital in Hoffman Estates.

ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR regarding your specific pre-surgery instructions and protein powders/shakes that are approved by your program. This was very helpful info to have for me, so I thought it could be nice to share for those early on in the process and wanting to learn all they can beforehand

It doesnt show pgs 1-3?

I'm not sure what you're referring to? I uploaded 2 pics, so only two pages to view.

Would you mind sharing the recommended reading books/materials as listed under #3?

Here are pics of the pages in the other resources packet. My program really does provide a lot of information, these pics are only part of what the nutritionist provided and discussed with my small group.

PS 'applications' actually refers to apps lol I haven't looked into any of them, so can't vouch as to how good any of them are. I did flip through a few of the recipe books on the list that the nutritionist had out, and I'm definitely thinking of buying one or two of them.
