Oh you are so very welcome! All of it is pretty over-welming. That's exactly why its so important to have support. I'm glad you found the menu plans helpful. I'm lucky enough to have a really good bariatric nutritionist who gives so much of herself for her patients. Just sharing her wealth of knowledge.

oh holy crap...you are my new favorite person! LOL
i have been looking around the entire site, really trying to get myself prepared for what is coming. one of my biggest questions has been about what my diet should be like once i get my bypass. at first i felt like it was the first day of school and i was looking at a really big syllabus for calculus or something! LOL, i thought, "i don't understand this!"
then i came across your thread with the meal info and diet examples. GODSEND! logically i know that, the close it comes to time--and then once i'm actually IN it--i should have a better grasp on what i should/shouldn't do. in the meantime though, i am one of those people who HATES not knowing what to expect!

so, thanks for giving me a little bit of my sanity back! i'm gonna have to send dr. c a thank you letter...i don't know what i'd do without this site...and i haven't even had surgery yet!!! LOL
