day 3 post op diet



Recommended Posts

Why do some people have different diets than mine? i'm allowed full liquids as long as it fits through a straw. so i have pudding diluted with milk, yogurt diluted with milk, protien shakes etc. was only on Clear Liquids like the first day. i also want to know when you know for sure you are full in this stage?

Heya :lol:

I was put on the same liquid stage as you too.. Anything that can fit up a thick straw. I stuck to Soups, Yogurt and Protein shakes. I have to do this for 3 weeks (finally finishing this Thursday yay!) After this stage its then Mushys...so anything that will "squish" through your fingers like weetbix, Tinned fruit, Chunky Soups etc... for 2 weeks. Then normal food.

I dont eat until I feel full, I have maybe half a mug of Soup and then another 2 or 3 hours later some more if im feeling hungry. I didnt really get hungry until this week (3rd week) But I still take it easy and try not to have too much..Slippage scares the crappola out of me haha.

Good Luck, Hope this helps.:thumbup:

I "rebanded" on 10/26 due to a slippage - after 2 1/2 years on band, had the misfortune of needing a revision - original lost 130 lbs - but gained 50 plus back after slippage as Dr required band to drained - long story short - I'm doing the whole liquid diet thing again - I hate it - was pretty good first couple days - liquid, but, kind of sneaky with full liquids and an occasion small taste of Peanut Butter - my doc is requiring long time liquid diet - can not handle it any longer, as matter of fact, night before my surgery, I ate like a pig knowing I was going back to lapband land - my dr. gave me quite the lecture after the surgery when it was discovered - anyway, amazing, I feel so much better after this surgery than the 1st, no gas pain, no pain at all - but, now, day 7, I want something of substance to eat - what to do? I don't want my doctor catching me twice at cheating with food - Dr Oh in Federal Way, WA is great, but, very straight forward - tells you like it is - quote - "well, you don't follow the rules, you will be fat again, fatter!

I'm sorry about the band slippage that would be hard. As for the liquid my doctor has me on full liquids which includes cream Soups they fill me up quickly, I put peanut butter in shakes because having only 200 calories a day was draining me. I was told anything that fits through a straw. I dont really mind drinking my meals i did the slim fast thing forever. But to get full quickly i add Unjury Protein to my 4 oz shake first thing in the morning and that keeps me going until 1 or 2 in the afternoon. For lunch i have 1/2 cup of cheddar Soup or anyother cream soup. some cream soup i have to run through the food processor, like the cream of chicken and mushroom. at night i have a shake 4 oz or another soup. this is the first time in a long time that i have been able to feel full on only about 1 1/2 cup of food! i'm really excited about it and have been losing one pound a day! So dont give up and dont cheat, i dont know how you would be able to anyways i get full really fast.

      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.
