    PROTEIN----60-80 grams or more per day

    Fluid
    48-64oz--jello, ice, popsicles, and yogert count as fluids per day

    3 regular meals and 2 snacks

    5 Grams of total FAT or less per serving

    12 grams(or Less) of sugar in dairy products,12 grams sugar ok in Yoget and icecream per serving

    300 mg SODIUM (SALT) at most per serving MAX per day 2400mg

    2-4 Grams FIBER or more per serving, you CANT get too much fiber 20-35 gms daily

    Maybe just lots of cardio. Forget the weights for now. Maybe something like recumbent bike trainer that won't put pressure on your abdomen.

    walking, running, swimming, eliptical...........I dont think you need to lift anything for now, just concentrate on burning cals.

    Good luck with the surgery :flowerforyou:

    Wishing you the best with your health issues. I had 7" of my colon removed several years ago (non-ca) but now I have an incisional herna also. I have also had triple bypass surgery and just had my third Corneal Transplant, but the reason I mention this is that walking is a safe and effective routine. At least all my doctors have indicated that and it helps with all parts of the body and mind: psychologically, physically, emotionally, etc. Best of luck to you. Oh, I also recommend you try to use the good ideas offered on this site over the Slim-fast program. Just personal experience and years of fighting the fat gene. Also speaking as a Lifetime Weight Watcher member and a former lecturer.
