Well, I haven't had surgery yet. Date not set. But...this little book they gave me (I've been studying what's left after the dog got to it) says something about dumping syndrome, the 30 20 30 rule and a whole list of things I cannot eat. (I'm gonna request a new book.) It gives me details about prep and post op days on the hospital. Very thorough. I might not have any questions left to ask when I see what's been chewed. Can you tell us what procedure you're having?
Welcome to the group, I had my surgery on December 22, the worst part of this whole experience is the two weeks before and after for me, once you get through that it is a breeze, there is not alot of pain afterwards I was expecting it, and now I can eat alot of things, I still don't eat many carbs, mostly just meat, but loving the person I'm becoming, good luck on your journey
Hello and welcome. I to am from NC... I had my surgery on Feb 14 this year.... The best thing I can advise don't push to eat before doc says your good... Cut meat into small bit size pieces, and no drinking before or 30 min after eating you will regret it..... Make sure you take your time and eat slowly... Im still working on that.... Damn military eating habits still got me and I have been out for some time.... Hope this helps
Once you are on a regular diet you will be fine, it's tough but I know you can do it, but for now, just keep sipping, get your self a little shot glass and pour you shake in that and sip away, it really does work, I used a little 2 oz cup to sip out
