Guest guest Posted July 19, 2000 Report Share Posted July 19, 2000 I don't think you need Sustagen and Yokult - yuk! I made lots of homemade soup and pureed it with the Bamix. That way you are getting all the nutrients you need (especially if you include pasta or pulses and meat or chicken), if you include some fresh fruit juice you won't need all these suplements. Good luck with the op. Kay > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2000 Report Share Posted July 19, 2000 Sheree, I actually like both sustagen and yokulk...especially the chocolate flavored sustagen which i bought right after the op....tastes great and you know your getting all of your vitamins and minerals.... By the way....i found an old post I'd sent to you....ill rehash it below ...you know what i did when i had the op...cause pre-op i didnt ever cook...(hahaha)....bought a supermarket variety of soups....mush them up a bit more...microwave...and they're ready to go. I also had sustagen, once or twice a day. Some juice a couple times a day, and so yoghurts (which you can buy in half sizes 100g). Good luck with the op.
