Ornish diet and other questions

[Guest guest]

Dear Post-Ops:

I have a question for you: has anybody tried going on an Ornish-type diet

after the surgery, as recommended by Dr. Rutledge? I keep reading about trips

to Cracker Barrel and Pizza Hut, and wondering what my post-surgery diet will

really be like...

I'm also surprised that I'm not hearing more about post-ops craving fruits

and vegetables - that seemed to be one of the big revelations in the clinic I

attended. One of the reasons I'm not looking into the RNY surgery is because

the sugar cravings don't seem to go away, as I thought they did with the MGB.

Have your sugar cravings gone away? Do you crave fresh fruits and vegetables?

Next question: I'm really confused about the medical history form thread

that's recently come up. That's different from the Patient Information form

- but we're supposed to send it in with our doctor's letter and current

physical? Please enlighten!

Thanks,

Blair
