Jo-

I had fluids one day post op and then for the few days I was in the hospital

and then I was told to eat what sounded good. I pretty much stuck to

yogurt, juice, thin sliced ham, cheese and turkey for the first week and

then it was whatever I could keep down as I had major nausea problems for

awhile. I never had any real strict guidelines and from the beginning after

surgery I developed a craving for protein that is still in force today.

This probably does not help much, but keep in mind, that your tastes will

really change after surgery--now sweets are much too sweet for me and I

crave things that are savory. I will be interested to hear how things go

for you.

I wish you the best with all of this Jo--you will be in my thoughts and

prayers for your surgery and beyond. Will you have someone let us know how

you are doing?? I would really appreciate knowing that you are doing well.

Please take care!

Warm Regards, of the Cakes

,

No worries. I will you all informed of what is happening.

By the way, we met a lady at our meeting on Saturday who has had the

BPD/DS done and is looking really great. She was a bandster prior to

becoming a switch sister too. When she first walked into the office

I thought that maybe she was lost and in the wrong place!!

Mind you I could almost say the same of who is now in the mid

nineties with the band.
