Hi! I had my surgery done in Tijuana, and my doctor told me not to eat anything for the 1st month, I only drank water, gatorade, and Pedyolite, well I also had some yugort but my stomach was not accepting it very well, and yes I had some vegetable soups my mom made me but only drank the soup couldn't eat veggies yet. This was my 1st month and I did not feel hungry at all. Oh I also drank some milk which was great.
On my 2nd month I have been eating lots of chicken, vegetables, fruit, tuna, and ensures in the morning. Sometimes I eat Oatmeal. I haven't had lots of meat yet (beef), I had 2 tostadas w/ only avocado, cilantro and onions on Saturday night, with no meat. While my cousin had like 4 tacos (yes she is over weight but not as much as I am).
You should be feeling better by the day. When I go out now, I only have one drink for the whole night, when before it was like 4 drinks or more. I feel alot happier then before, I have more self esteem. Now I can really tell you that I love my self.
About the soda, do as watergirl says. I haven't had a whole soda can my self, I just drink little sips from other peoples sodas just to get over the anxiety of having one. Wish you luck! And yes ask for anything on this forum, everyone here is so helpful, they give you tons of advice. By the way my mom is having her sugery done tomorrow morning. Please guys pray for her.
Wish you the best too Linda!
