Post op diet



Recommended Posts

I am being banded tomorrow and would like to get opinions/experiences with the post op diet. I'd appreciate your input. I have questions like what/when/how much to eat. Seems like different doctors recommend different things, so...

Because you wont be able to get out for a few days you may wanna pick up some chicken broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free applesauce and applejucie. and get some type of Protein Shake. my doctor put me on one so i had one already. Make sure you also by some chewable gas-x. whatever you do get that if nothing else. These are the basics. Make sure you have someone stay with you all tomorrow to help you up and down. I had my husband and mom thank God. I couldnt even pull my underwear down atfirst because my stomach was tooo sore. That's about all i can think of. Good luck and God bless.

I filled the freezer with Soups, I made and froze meals for the rest of the family, did the grocery shopping for the week the night before I went into hospital and had plenty of ingredients for smoothies etc on hand.

sugar free applesauce and apple juice? What brand(s) and where can I find it? I have looked all over and I can only find no sugar added juice and sauce. Thanks.

Motts makes sugar free applesauce sweetened with Splenda. It's quite good and my kids love it. They actually ask me to buy it! If you have a Super Walmart nearby, check there, it is in the individual 1/2 cup serving cups. For juice, I'm not sure. None of us are juice drinkers, I'd have to search myself. I have found that Walmart has the biggest selection in my area.

Good luck, I hope you are doing well :eek:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
