Playful Psychic!

Tell me about this clinical trial. I have a sister that might be interested. She has never been as high as me, but she has struggled and agonized with her weight all of her life. Thanks! SS

Well, three more days. Going food shopping today for the next 3 weeks. Any advise would be appriciated. I can't believe it is actually going to happen, now I am getting really nervous.

Hey Carol

What are your food requirement - Clear liquids or full liquids ?? I found homemade broth so much better than the canned or boxed stuff. Gas X strips - Liquid Tylenol - SF Popcicles & I could have Healthy Choice SF Fudgecicle - Dannon Lite & fit yogurt... Jello (I am not a big jello person so I always forget that one)

Nerves are normal - I don't eat when I am nervouse so that was good for me the day before surgery when all I could have was clear broths

You will have all our prayers on Monday -

Hi I am Sharon, I wont get my first adjustment until April 29th. I am so hurgry. I dont know what to do about it. It doesnt help that I go into low blood sugars. Any suggestions.

Eat every 3 hours, but make it a High Protien source, low fat and low sugar...

This will stabalize your blood sugars and eliminate the spikes...

For example: 5-8 almonds, SF FF Yogurt, 1% or skim Cottage Cheese Snack Pak, Low fat Cheese Strings, Low fat Turkey Pepperettes, Veggies w/ Cream Cheese dip, Peanut butter on Celery Ribs. Slice of HAM.

Don't be too hard on yourself, as this is a tricky time between fills and restriction.

Good luck

I made sure I had sf jello and popsicles, lite & fit yogurt, I had the healthy request or redued fat campbells soup, I would have the broth but not the veggies, meat and noodles. Don't forget your vitamins, calcium and multi bit. everyone says the flintstone gunnies are great. I opted for a generic children's chewable, and yuck... they are going to my grandson...

If you take medication regularly also have a pill crusher/cutter.

and of course a supply of protein mixes and a blender or magic bullet to mix everything.

Good luck on Monday, you will do great

Go to the food thread there are a lot of suggestions there. I had 10 days each stage full liquid - mushie (refried beans/spah sauce with ricotta cheese/polenta with spagh sauce/fillet of soul/mash tatoes/creamed spinach ) - soft (fish veggies) - regular

No I never ate baby food - yuck except for maybe the plums I liked those when I fed them to my son and gs - but the meat yuck - it stunk:lol:

Thanks Janet,

I'm with you, never liked the meat or the veg., but the pears, peachs and apple sauce I liked, of course that was 33 yrs ago.
