Guest guest Posted December 18, 2000 Report Share Posted December 18, 2000 Hey! I'm new to the mailing list. My name is Taurasi. I'm just using my wifes email address since I don't have time to check regularly. I weight 300+ pounds and am about done with the pre-op requirements. I have some concerns that have been satisfied by personal email with some of Dr. R's patients.. all but a few. And I'm going to ask you guys!! If any of you can tell me if you ate the baby food. Alot of people didn't even mention it. Also what vitamins do all you take? I was wondering about the protien shake as well. Can anyone tell me more about these as well? Thanks for you time!

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2000 Report Share Posted December 18, 2000 Hi : Welcome. Most folks don't eat baby food. We begin with two weeks of liquids then graduated to soft foods (like cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, etc.) Dr. R recommends two months of liquids and soft foods for maximum weight loss. (But I don't know of anyone who stayed on liquids that whole time although I'm sure there are folks who did). has lost a lot of weight and she had a protein shake every morning for breakfast. Although it is not a specific recommendation, some folks do have protein shakes. I have just begun to have a protein shake in the morning. After surgery eating is very uncomplicated. We have liquids at first then add soft foods then eat regularly..but chew very well and don't eat fast...that's it..that's all there is to it.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2000 Report Share Posted December 18, 2000 Hi , and Welcome!! I personally did not eat baby food. Infact I haven't heard of one person on this list since August (when I started here) mention eating baby food! You've got to have lots of liquids for the first week or two, like jello, yogurt, soup and then on to soft mushy foods, like oatmeal, mashed potatoes, etc. Dr. R reccomends One Source by Walmart! good luck, Trudy/Indiana Post op 11-3-00 339/304/145 New To The List Hey!

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2000 Report Share Posted December 18, 2000 , Welcome to the group. I didn't eat any babyfood. I use the One Source vitamins from Wal-Mart (huge bottle - low cost) and take three a day. PJ sent me an address to order some smaller vitamins and I am waiting for them to arrive. I haven't drank any protein shakes either but I know this group has had lots of interaction regarding those. Best wishes in your preparation stage. Let me know if you need anything.
