Food Ideas Post-Op.......Surgery on the 16th!



Recommended Posts

I am having surgery on the 16th and I have my doctors instructions, but still need specific examples of foods you guys have eaten during the 4 week post-op period. My diet will be one week liquids, one week mushies, one week soft foods, and then the 4th week I will gradually add in regular foods. Please help.....any recipes, websites, etc. will be appreciated. I think after this 14 day liquid/protein diet, a think of Campbell's Soup in Hand will feel like a big feast to me! I am happy I have done well with the liquid diet, but it has been an experience. Thanks for any suggestions you "experienced" people may have!

I was never big on egg drop Soup - frankly, I thought the consistency left much to be desired - BUT - I saw a recipe and it's great for a good shot of Protein.

Heat up a cup of chicken broth, when it comes to a boil add a scrambled egg, toss a little corn starch in for thickening (not much) and top with pepper, a little salt and I always throw in green onions.

It's been a long time since my surgery, but this is still one of my favorite foods when my stomach needs a break from solids.

Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
