I would add to Pam's list of vitamins, protein drinks and yogurt: sugar-free pudding and popsicles, cream of wheat and creamed soups to get you through the first diet stage. Later I added cottage cheese, refried beans, thin sliced lunch meat, cheese and peanut butter but by then I was ready for an outing so looked forward to going to the grocery store. I also found that I didn't like water much (hard to explain but it felt heavy in my tummy) but when flavored I had no problem so Crystal Light or other sugar free non-carbonated drinks might be good, too. FYI I also found that sleeping in my recliner was most comfortable for the first week; others liked lots of pillows to surround them in their bed. Hope this helps! Keep in touch. --Carol Lap RNY 3/4/03, Dr. Wetter, Burlingame CA <!--more--> 39/5'8" 340/247/happy&healthy Hi, NB, and congratulations on your upcoming rebirthday! I would add

I had started the walk away the pounds tapes to get me in better physical shape. I preloaded with protein (4-5 drinks a day, plus 2 meals) so that I would heal faster. My re-birth is on October 1, 2003. I am wondering what supplies, both nutritional and medicinal that I will need upon my arrival home from the hospital. I realize that I will be on a liquid then pureed diet for the weeks following the surgery but really want to do theis the "correct way" to use the gastric bypass tool to it's fullest.
