Chicken pureed with a tiny bit of mayo or Greek yogurt and different seasonings (curry powder is great), same with salmon/tuna/crab, cottage cheese with some sugar free jam, refried beans with a little taco seasoning and salsa, cream soups with added protein powder.

Yeah I understand, I hated having to do the pre op diet but I do feel like it helped prepare me a little for what was to come. I personally wouldn’t recommend getting started on the pre op type diet before it is necessary only because it’s very hard and it gets old reallly fast! You’ll be doing plenty of liquid type diets pre and post op, take this time to just eat healthier, drink lots of water, and take a 30 minute walk everyday. That’s my suggestion.

So I’m on my 2 week preop liquid diet and we decided to go camping this weekend. (Which was its own brand of hell in itself). I decided to freeze a couple bottles of Premier so they could naturally thaw in the cooler Saturday and be cold for today (Sun). Oh man, it did some weird separation in the thawing process and ended up being chunky. So not only did I have to endure my family enjoying grilled hamburgers, corn on the cob, and s’mores around the campfire, I had to choke down chunky peach premier.

A bit of nausea is going to be expected while moving around for a bit, things are different inside you, so it'll take a little bit for everything to figure out what's what. Just keep moving!

Happy someone can benefit from learning from my mistake!

I guess im just wanting to try some of the foods pre-op so I know how to handle it when I actually need to eat those foods. lol

Yep mine feel the same. I’m 12 days post op. And when I stretch it sort of looks like there is a small area under the incision that is like cinched? Not sure how to describe it. Like maybe there is a stitch in the fascia.

I took 3 big swallow of water never doing that again. 3 days post op messing up already lol I thought I was going to bring it up thank goodness I didn't. We have to take it slow and steady Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I’m 12 days post op and was instructed not to take vitamins until two weeks out. I have my 2 week post op follow up with the dr on Tuesday so I’ll get my vitamin regimen at that time. As far as protein shakes at this point I drink 2-3 a day. Basically at meal times. When I did my preop diet I was instructed to drink 5 shakes per day.

Glad you are home but Whoaaa on 12 hrs to control nausea. I know some nausea meds dont work for me. I have my surgery August 14th. I hear taking the meds get easier fairly quick. Keep us informed of your healing journey.
