My meeting on Monday was a group meeting to learn the basic info about what kind of diet to expect before and after surgery. This was the meeting I have been waiting for.
What I learned:
* I will have to schedule another appointment once I learn my surgery date to learn the liquid diet directions
* I need to be taking a children's chewable vitamin in the morning and evening
* I will be on a liquid diet for one week before surgery
* 2 days before surgery I will be on a clear liquid diet
* First 3 days after surgery-- clear liquids
* 2 1/2 weeks after surgery--liquid diet
* 1 week of puree (oh yuck!)
* then onto low fat, high protien foods for life :)
Like I said in my last post--- I CAN DO IT!!!
I tried the protien powder yesterday and found it to be grainy... not sure if I didn't mix it well enough or that is just the texture. I will try it again later and see if I can mix it up better..... fingers crossed otherwise I will need to buy a different brand.
Now I just have one more appointment tomorrow at 2pm. Fingers crossed the Phsyc evaluation goes well. And NO I WON'T CRY!!!! I am such a wimp when it comes to anything emtional.... but I will keep it together.
I am excited to be nearing the end :)
