Liquids after surgery

[suebydoo70 0]

Has anyone introduced anything other than the standard shakes, Jello, and broth during their first 2 weeks post op? Just wondering what it was, and how you did.

I drank Crystal Light during my clear liquid phase.

My surgeon called is the "full liquid" phase. We were allowed to eat cream Soups (like cream of mushroom, cream of potato, etc), yogurt, SF pudding and SF fudgesicles.

Those items along with applesauce, diluted no sugar added clear juices, skim milk and yogurt are allowed during my post-op full liquid phase.

I have to add: after two weeks on Clear Liquids only, pudding, applesauce and yogurt never tasted so good.

I was banded last Wednesday 4/28 and I felt great ... until tonight. I got a little too confident and growing very tired of broth and popsicles, so I had a bowl of Cream of Mushroom made with skim milk. It tasted great but about 20 minutes later I had an episode of discomfort that felt like a combination or heartburn, nausea, and Constipation. It lasted about an hour, but even now about 3 hours later I still don't feel very well. I don't know if it was what I ate or how fast I ate it, but either way I learned a big lesson tonight. After this, I will have more respect for the information I've been given and I will never be stupid enough to think that for some reason it doesn't apply to me. From now on I will eat much slower and stick to the clear fluids, popsicles, and yogurt until my doctor tells me otherwise. This was natures way of telling me that no matter how well I'm doing and no matter how good I feel, that I must not forget that my body went through trauma last week and if I don't let myself heal properly and make my own recovery rules, then I will pay ... big time. This was the first thing since my surgery that made me miserable, but I have to admit it was my own fault and I asked for it by thinking I was in charge over my body. Whew. I wish I knew then what I know so well now. :thumbdown:

I was able to find them at a super target.

I was only on liquids for 1 week- then mushies. Didn't have any problems.

I was the same. After 1 week each of liquids and mushy, then I was on solids. It was fine.
