I am looking for some advice and/or suggestions on diet post op. I just had my education class in the program that I am in, and they gave us some really good information (albeit, alot!) and some samples of protein powders and chewable vitamins.
I am a little confused about diet after surgery once you are off the full liquid diet. I will be having the gastric sleeve hopefully sometime before this year is out. All of the materials talk about protein, protein and more protein but I am unsure of how the protein drinks fit in....do they go as a food replacement or do you sip them during the day like you would be with water?
I think diet is one of the big things that I have been so anxious and worried about. Pre-op I have been following the choosemyplate.org diet as directed by my program and have that down pretty well. I am already down 8lbs towards the 15lbs that I need to lose before surgery.
Thank you for any help you can give!
