Re: Pre-op Eating/Diet questions

[Guest guest]

Did your doctor or nutritionist say you should be having a shake/food

that late in the evening? Everything I've read and have been told by

my medical folks has said you shouldn't be eating late in the

evening, especially before bed. I stick with their recommendations of

nothing past 8pm as best I can.

I wouldn't think that'd affect light headness. When I had brief bouts

with that it was because of low blood pressure. Now I suspect it's

because of low blood sugar or something else. It doesn't happen too

much but occasionally. I don't really do anything about it. I suppose

if it was something I was concerned about I'd check with my doctor.

I usually drink around 120-150oz of liquids a day. Probably half of

that is water the other half is green tea and/or Crystal Lite or

sugar free Kool-aid. You could try drinking more. I doubt that would

hurt. Before you ask, yes I do go to the restroom quite often I

suppose. Maybe six or seven times. Maybe more. I don't really keep

count. I work/play/exercise and live in an environment that lends

itself to being close to facilities. Plus I'm a guy so all I need is

a waist level shrub really.

You seem to be drinking a lot of shakes too. Do those make you feel

full? I don't drink shakes. I just eat a lot of seafood. I only get

maybe 60-70g of protein in. I get too much sodium too.

I don't know if you should add or delete anything but some

people keep track of their food & water intake on I think it is

fitday.com .If I'm wrong,someone please add the right website.

Also I would just call & mention it to the dr & see why they suggest

for you.

Good luck!

the only thing I see different from what my surgeon

told me was NO PROTEIN BARS. They sit like mud in

your stomach and are tougher to digest.

I just found this website, like fitday but works better for me its called

thedailyplate.com, you type in the food you ate and it finds the name of it,

like " smart ones " and give you exact calorie/ nut. information. I'm watching

everything that goes in my mouth, though its been hard getting use to it; I

think this helps alot and I can see my improvements.
