newbie susie starting out.... help

[newbie]

thanks alli, well the dietician asked what i eat etc. chinese (yum yum) she said i could cjoose between two pre opt diets to be done two weeks before surgery. i am having the LSG which is the sleeve surgery. this one is less ivasive and about 80 percent gauranteed where gastric is 100 percent but since i am dieabetic this is a safer way for me and is gonna take alittle more will power. you still have all the fun stuff like dumping and trial and error eating for a long time.
shelbell are you on your pre opt diet?? they told me its gonna be nilk and yogurt or weight watchers soups only.

Hi Susie,
Fine today thanks, no need for painkillers and just managed a shower and hairwash - feel quite pleased with myself for three days post-op!! Still on fluids only, but it is getting easier to drink as each day passes, just enjoying a milky coffee xx
