Blew it with the post-op diet... :(



Recommended Posts

My intention was good...I just realized too late that it was wrong. Hopefully I did not cause any damage. I guess I could of screwed up more and had a whole meal or something because I feel like I COULD. Obviously, I won't though.

Another question: I am able to drink fluids (Water and Protein shakes, etc) just as quick as I could pre-band. Should this be a concern? Or is it OK and just a reflection of me NOT having real restriction?

I was banded yesterday. I am on full liquids for two weeks.

Here is a sampling of what I can eat right now ==

Light yogurt

Cream of Wheat

low fat fat free cream/strained Soups (I like split pea with no ham)

sugar free pudding

sugar free Jello

Protein Shakes

sugar free cool whip

sugar free popsicles

skim or soy milk

I had a little yogurt when I got home from surgery last night

This morning I had 1/4 cup yogurt and a few tablespoons of creme of wheat. for lunch I had 1/4 cup split pea Soup. Of course Water, and a muscle milk light Protein Drink.

So I am able to eat and trying to keep up without getting hungry. I'm belching quite a bit and can certainly tell there is something going on as I can't eat or drink that much at a time.

Hope this list helps. I was also told if it can go through a straw you can have it post-op.

Good luck!

since i opened up my personal blender, i've been blending everything. i just blended up some progresso santa fe chicken Soup stuff and added in some of my unflavored Protein mix. the Soups seem to fill me up good. =)

How do those progresso soups taste?

the progresso Soups are good! at least i think so. i was always a fan of them before the band so no reason to change that after. just knowing i can blend one up and "drink" it, is a very comforting thought when i've been all Protein Shakes and Water for days and days. lol

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
