What To Eat Post Op?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering what most people have in the first few days of post op? And if anyone has had ensure.

My surgery is tomorrow morning, so I double check with my surgeon.. But I purchased some Ensure that was high in Protein.. Curious if others use it?

Sorry to tell you that I bought 8 of them, couldn't get 1 down and threw the other 7 away. It was the clear ensure. Having said that I haven't been able to get any Protein Drinks, powders or enhanced foods down, except the Optifast. You do need to follow your dr's instructions. I could have pudding, yogurt, Soup and after a week went back to my pre op shake, optifast.

Thank you lady's! I'm a little anxious, so I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row. I'm staying in a hotel over night and then a 8 hour drive home tomorrow eeek! I figured if I couldn't use the ensure my dad could (he's very UNDER weight.. Go figure) :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
