Guest guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 dear, please use lower case when you write. All capital letters is the same as yelling on the net. To answer your question, jello is a clear liquid and will probably be a staple for you after surgery. You do not have to be on liquids pre-op though. It's OK to do that if you choose, but not required. Your food trays after surgery will be broth, juice and jello. Nothing else. And pretty much you'll eat that way for 14 days, adding only yogurt for protein. Good luck to you. I've been watching your progress from the first time you posted. Just don't yell at us anymore, OK. :-) PhillyJude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Laurie, I see you are from Columbus. I am a possible PreOp from Bellefontaine, OH, just northwest of you. You did a lot of research, uhn. What did you find out? Thanks for being truthful about the lack of thrills from the food, that's good information. I was wondering if anyone at OSU does this surgery.
