Need help and info on days post op and foods
hi I’m new to the group and have so many questions,
I had Roux-en-Y Bypass gastric bypass….
so rule of thumb is followed
Weeks 1 and 2: Liquid diet
Weeks 3 and 4: Puree diet
Weeks 5 to 8: Soft diet
After 8 weeks: Regular diet
But I’m having issues sticking to this, I need help and advice on what I’m doing and if I’m wrong to do this and I can’t find answers,
so I’m day 10 post op now as I had my surgery on the 2nd December 2023,
first few days kept to the liquid diet that being said I’m struggling with taking so much fluids, any way I would say day 7 I feel fine no issues or anything when I drink the shakes etc and they are thickish shakes so day 8 post op I tried a chunky soup it was potato and leak I chewed the chunks before swallowing and yeah only managed like 4 spoons and done I’m full….. but today 10 days post op again should only be on liquid but I had mash and beans and again only a few mouth fills filled me and I’m fine no pains or anything….. I know they say people heal at different rates inside etc and I do know I heal quick from surgery’s Iv had in the pact ext……
so my question is am I moving to fast is this safe for me to continue should I slow down and go back to what the plan is supposed to happen because with me only being 10 days post op I’m eating at week 3-4 puree diet and to be honest I think I might be ok moving onto week 5-8 soft diet in a few days….
just any advice of anyone who has had this issues or may know a answer from experience or knowledge.
many thanks.
