Food Question. If it doesn't agree, should you go back to the previous stage?



Recommended Posts

I started Phase 3 of my post-op diet, which is the pureed phase. I was so glad to be able to eat something a little more substantial, especially since being sick with bronchitis. On Friday night, I pureed some chicken and some green beens, which are both allowed. I had 1 oz of each (took small bites and ate very slowly) and thought it was the best thing I've ever put in my mouth - that is until I woke up around 3:00 AM. Since then, I feel like I have so much gas in my chest and abdominal area. My abdomen even seems a little swollen/bloated. I keep using the Gas-X strips, but it hasn't helped alot. Yesterday I stuck to liquids, but had part of a sweet potato today and my chest is hurting again. My question is: Since I don't seem to be tolerating this very well, should I move back to a liquid diet for a few more days? Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.:smile2:

Hi there,

Well, the best thing to do is to ask your doctor. :smile2: My surgery was July 3rd, so I will give you my two cents..

My doc said that sometimes it takes a lil while for your body to adjust, and you still might be a little bit swollen. He said that if I had issues going to the next phase that I should go back to liquids for a day or two (I know, now what you wanted to hear..sorry) :) Especially if your doc put Fluid in your band during surgery.

I would suggest going back to liquids, and then trying again. If you are still having issues, then I would call the doc for suggestions.

Hope this helps!! Hang in there :angry:

I don't have any Fluid in my band yet, but going back to the previous stage just made sense to me. I think I am going to stick with liquids for the rest of the day and give them a call tomorrow. When you think about it...I'm sure the chicken and green Beans, even though pureed, were quite a shock to my body. Thanks for your advice.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
