Lost my Post-Op Diet

[mattie7632 24]

I lost my handouts of what I can eat for the 4 weeks post surgery.

I remember this:

Week 1-Clear liquids DONE

Week 2 -Full liquids (but did not include foods, only Protein drinks) IN THE MIDDLE OF

Week 3-???

Week 4-Introduce real food, but not fibrous veges or red meet, no Pasta, no breads

Does anyone know what the week 3 diet should include? I know it involves some mushie foods, but not sure

what the diet is actually called to google it and get more deets. THANKS

Its probably purée but you should probably have your surgeon email you a copy.

It's mushies or soft foods!

[beergut 2]

Yup, most likely pureed foods that go down easily.

Mine called for foods like low fat cottage cheese and low fat ricotta, egg whites,

Thanks everyone! I think I get the idea and I hope my body will let me know if I made a wrong choice!

It is very simple. CALL your doctor.......and ask them......

Sorry. There are just so many posts here where people are posting, asking anonymous people over the internet, questions that should be directed to their doctor's office.

The name of this forum is lapband TALK. If it was so important for me to call my doctor I would. Take a look around, this forum is filled with questions that could be directed to one's doctor if necessary, but that would defeat the purpose of registering with this site wouldn't it???

My post op diet is weeks 1-4 clear liquid with Tomato juice, I am now at 1 and 1/2 weeks post op and starving. Thinking I could eat a side of beef, any thoughts?????

I don't disagree....this is a great forum for connecting with others who are going through, or have faced, the same challenges. However, I do not think it is the place to ask questions relating to something that is very prescriptive from your physician. The specifics of the pre/post op diet vary greatly from physician to physician.

I think asking others in this forum about how they managed, or suggestions they have, related to what you are going through are appropriate....but asking to fill in the blanks about a very specific guideline from your physician is not appropriate for a public, internet forum.

According to my diet, week 2 thicker liquids is the same as purees, is that not the same for others? Week 3 is soft foods/ mushies?
