I have my first dietitian appointment tomorrow and I think what I want to know includes:

  • What exactly does the pre-op diet consist of. My surgeon wants me to do the solid food high Protein low carb diet, so I need to know what I can and can't eat.
  • What does the post-op diet consist of. How soon do I progress through the stages?
  • What, if any, Vitamins should I take?
  • Can I drink coffee with my flavored liquid creamer?
  • What kitchen tools will make life easier during the post-op stages of healing? (Will I need to buy anything other than the blender and food processor that I currently have?)
  • What happens if I cheat on either the pre-op or post-op diets?
  • Just how bad is a carbonated drink? I love my diet pepsis, and although I only have two (sometimes three) a day, if I need to give them the axe, I will.
  • Does protein have to be eaten first the rest of my banded life, or can I eat a bit of everything until full?

I'm sure she'll have lots of information that will generate questions too, but these are the ones that I'll be asking tomorrow.

Hope this helps!
