Post op diets



Recommended Posts

I am on liquids and Jello for 2 weeks post op. This has been hard than the 2 weeks pre-op I already did. I have been drinking Protein Shakes, adding the unflavored Unjury to Soups, and drinking Special K Protein Powder. I am still hungry, but trying to ignore it. I did have some cheese the other day and I have also been eating more than a spoonful of applesauce with my meds. I usually eat a full cup. I have no restriction so it has been hard.

I am now on regular foods, and let me tell you, it has been heaven. I have not been measuring like I should because I am starving all the time. I keep it to 3 meals a day most of the time and drink lots of Water. If I have been bad and didn't focus on Proteins, I have Iso Pure. Or one of my other cold Protein drinks. Being on regular food with no restriction and no fill in site due to an infection in my incision, which was in my belly button, it totally sucks. It's like, "here just gain all your weight back hon."

I'm an 11/22 bander...and i'm looking forward to starting mushy foods. I'm just not hungry period...i'm trying to drink more Water and broth than anything.

I have sore throat from the tube going down my throat and i have gas pain towards my stomach and upper chest...I'm just looking forward to that going away.

I was also banded 11/22. My diet afterwards was so different than everyone else's I read. I was liquids for the the first 7 days. Mushy on the 8th and 9th day and straight to chunky on the 10th day. I've been doing ok. Got my first fill 12/30 and my second is scheduled for 1/26.... I'm thinking about calling Monday and see if I can go in next week because I'm starting to gain back some of what I lost after my first fill. :( A little discouraging. I'm soooo scared I'm going to stretch out my pouch :unsure: .... I hope I'm not!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
