FINALLY!! My bypass awaits!!!

[Blossom84]

So after one false start a couple of years ago and finally beginning my wls jouney Oct 15 I have a date for my bypass - Oct 11th 2016!! It took me months to decide on sleeve vs bypass but the only thing that put me off the bypass was the lifetime of vitamin popping but I will have to just get on with it!!

I had my pre-op assessment a couple of days ago and was given the details of the lrd but I'm a little confused by it... I am doing the soup and yoghurt diet (approx 100 calories each) and it states 4 soups weight watchers or supermarket own but supermarket own (Sainsbury's) soups are 82 calories per 1/2 can - is this too much?? If so, all i can find for shop bought soups is weight watchers. Are there any other alternatives? Same with yoghurts - is the Muller Light range my only option?

Congratulations on getting your date
Check the food stuff with your team if you're not sure. I was given a very informative leaflet with plenty of specific options of yogurt for example which I found helpful and reassuring.

I was given a choice of yogurts and depending on which ones the number I could have a day varied. ie weight watcher yogurts I could have 10 a day, but mullers - only 6

Congrats on getting your date, I would also contact your team about the diet questions, each team does things differently!

Congratulations on getting your date.
I have to agree, it would be best to get in touch with your team. So many places do things differently it's always best to ask and make sure.
