So today I start my Pre OP. After impressing my nutritionist with what I know, she sent a list of must not have. Many things are what I see PpL with in their shopping guides. She however reminded me I'm on an Island so no powerade zero, artificial sweeteners at all as fresh coconut water is available. Additionally no store bought soup or stock. So this weekend I'm making stock for my soups, making 2 different kinds of soups, and I already stocked up on coconut water.

My pre op is 2 shakes, 1 solid meal, with lean protein, complex carb and vegetables. , I fruit and non fat dairy. Teas are allowed. Cooked vegetables 1 cup but unlimited raw.

Let the journey begin

Making stock

May I ask what brand of coconut water you use? I've been looking but most seem pretty high in sugar. I really like the idea of moving away from artificial sweeteners .

Follow up question: For those of you who have had RNY, how much sugar will cause dumping?

Hey

I live in Jamaica, so coconut water is freshly bottled, no additives at all. Not the canned or boxed stuff. I also just buy coconuts

Ok so I'm so jealous. I just got back from Jamaica on vacation and can't wait to go back. Everyone is so nice there!

That stinks that you can't get PowerAde Zero, I live on that stuff. Are there any companies that ship grocery type items there? I know there are lots of different hydration alternatives so I'm wondering if there is something you could find that would comparable.

Wow, jealous of the fresh coconut water --- the bottled stuff is just not the same.
