shakinnmyshoes Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I am feeling like a yo-yo.I was banded by Dr. Ortiz and I left my post op diet instructions on the nightstand at the hotel Lucerna. I can't remember when I can have something besides clears. I had surgery Thursday and the only thing I've had so far is beef broth, gatorade, and popsicles. I think I get to aid drinkable yogurt on day 4, but not sure when to add slim-fast or thick liquids. I want to go by the book, but I forgot the book. Also by drinkable yogurt does Yoplait Nouriche count? or is there something else I should use Marsene PS I would just call the center, but its the weekend.

No pain, most of the gas is gone. My stomach rumbles like an old ship going down for the last time, but its not craving anything. I was kind of surprised that I didn't lose weight while in TJ because of the no food, but I think the IV fluid and the sodium in the broth and gatorade could be causing me to hang on to fluid. I am not worried about it just surprised. What kind of drinkable yogurt are you using?? I have some Yoplait Nouriche smoothies, but I don't know if its too thick or too high in calories. One bottle is about 240 calories. Marsene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakinnmyshoes Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Marsene Did you get the fax? Thank you so much for faxing the instructions! You are a lifesaver. I went back to work today, felt fine. I couldn't believe I drank 4oz of the nouriche at about 12 noon today and I couldn't even think about food for the rest of the day. I had a cup of miso soup (without the tofu) and that was all I wanted all day long. I wonder how long that will last. 5 days down 17 to go. How are you doing?

Marsene HI Doing good, Drinking the nouriche too, I am suprised too that I don't get hungry. I am so glad I did this, I really didn't need to worry so much about having this done, they were so nice and it was so easy. I wish I would have done it alot sooner. I am glad to hear you are doing good, keep in touch. Marsha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
