For anyone that's had surgery at HRRH did they give you a more detailed meal plan, food guide after surgery?

I feel like I have a fair bit of an idea as to what to eat at each stage, and I did get a handout at orientation that was pretty basic, a short list of foods, but I feel like its not enough. I need something more concrete with more detailed instructions, as well as some actual meal ideas.

The dietitian will come and see you before you leave and have a booklet for you with information and a sample food menu. You can also ask her questions. She will talk to you about vitamins, proteins and all that. I just had my surgery a week ago there and that's what happened with me. Hope that helped!! Good luck with your surgery!!

Yes it helped! Thanks very much! It wasn't something I even thought about until a week or so again and then realized that I feel like I needed more info.

I figured there would be some type of handout but needed to confirm it so I could stop stressing. The less I have to worry about the better!

I would also recommend this book . They have it in the pharmacy at HRRH but you can also order it on line. It really helped me a lot in the beginning. http://www.amazon.ca/Complete-Weight-Loss-Surgery-Guide-Program/dp/0778802736

I second this book reco - It's actually written by some of the staff from the HRRH bariatric centre, and I also found it to be very useful!
