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

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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
