mandagay 93 Posted April 25, 2012 When u eat solids it cause ur stomach to grind. Your stitches have not healed yet. When u eat and it grinds, it can pop stitches which will make slips easier later on. It's very hard but u have to stick to ur post op diet. U will be glad u did!

Shannon28 26 Posted April 25, 2012 I had my surgery on the 16th as well. I wouldn't eat any solids until your doctor allows you to because after going through this you wouldn't want to have to go through it all again to have something fixed. I'm on full liquids right now and I was starving for the longest time until today. I got some Soup from a Chinese restaurant and it was extremely satisfying (strained of course). I was told I can also have things like instant mashed potatoes, pudding, applesauce, and yogurt so if you're on full liquids maybe some of those might satisfy you until you are on mushies. It's hard, extremely hard, but it will pay off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
