Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 Hi, I seriously doubt you will want the same thing after surgery. Your body will be adjusting to the new tummy and probably won't want to eat for awhile. If you try to eat a Mc's after surgery, you will probably throw up. Then you will be cured for sure. a tandv@... wrote: > > You guys are so right.........

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2000 Report Share Posted July 7, 2000 Dinah, It's like we have abottomless pit. Or, we are characters in some type of movie. Anyway, be encouraged. Stop eating when you do and follow the good doctor's direction, I think we will be fine. in Durham and moving to Chapel Hill soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2000 Report Share Posted July 9, 2000 << I'm also worried like you are about the liquid thing after post-op, I'm terrified that right in the hospital after surgery I'm going to have a terrible Mcs french fry withdrawl...and Coke, is anyone else a Coke freek? I drink like, 6 a day and I'm praying that I'll be able to live without it. >> Taleta, take a deep breath and just relax, woman! I used to suck down diet Coke like there was no tomorrow. I don't miss it a bit. About two weeks ago, I tried a sip and I just don't care for it any more. That is a miracle! (As all my family and friends could tell you.) In terms of Mc's and other fast food...it doesn't even register on my " want " meter any more. I tried a french fry about a month ago and it tasted like straight lard. It ended up in a napkin because I couldn't even finish chewing it. I'm a little over six months post-op and I'm down 88 pounds and many, many inches. You'll be fine, girl. You will. I just used chicken broth, beef broth (see if you can get the kind that comes in glass jars in your local grocers), V8, Gatorade, o.j., applesauce, cottage cheese, yogurt and tomato soup during my first three months after surgery. I used my Juiceman and made all sorts of veggie and fruit juices. I used my blender and made smoothies and protein drinks. I bought 3-ounce plastic cups and just used those as the containers. They hold just enough of something to make a meal out of those first three months. I still drink plenty of protein drinks, keep the Juiceman whirring, and make smoothies in my blender. I find that " real " food is very filling...about a third of a cup is all I can comfortably handle in a half hour's eating time. I can get two or three servings from the protein drinks and smoothies. You will be just fine, honey. Dee in MI (MGB 16 Dec 99) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2000 Report Share Posted July 9, 2000 REally should slowly wean yourself off coke before your surgery date or you get a horrible caffeine/sugar withdrawal headache (been there, done that). I think Dr. R mentions that in the patient manual or somewhere. I was really addicted to coke but after being diagnosed with diabetes had to quit - darn!!!
