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!!

      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.
