I highly doubt those things are on your post op diet after only 2 weeks.

What phase are you on? What are your doctor's instructions?

I know '!! Uhhhhh . I'm having a moment ! Let me make a Protein shake !

I know it's hard but stick to your doctor's post op diet. It's so important so you can heal properly.

Just remember, this is temporary. Soon you'll be back on real food and on your way to a healthy life.

You can do this :)

I am just starting my post-op week 2. My instructions say that I can include to my Clear Liquids more creamier Soups, puréed foods. Tonight I puréed some green Beans. It took a little bit to get past the looks and texture...but at this point I will try just about anything new.

I don't know of I am supposed to but I have been doing grits or oatmeal . I'll do a Soup from Olive Garden . Actually been doing like soft foods I guess . I can't get my Protein down. Just met a girl in the doctor office where I am now and she said that Muscle Milk is delicious ! So I'll try the chocolate . I ate some green been a and it actually went down without me puréed n it.

Jello, apple sauce, and things like that are what you should be eating. Keep drinking those Protein Shakes.< /p>

I know all of our care varies, but if you are looking for something as a reference, fashionstylist- I could scan the booklet I got my from nutritionist for you. Maybe you could show your doc and make sure they are cool with it? I got something really comprehensive.

My phase 2 go's like this; pureed foods, Baby food consistency foods - nothing you need to chew. Eat Protein first, pureed chicken, scrambled eggs , mash low fat cottage cheese, smooth low cal yogurt, or low cal pudding. Then move onto mild pureed veggies such as carrots, green Beans (avoid gassy veggies) Start taking chewable multi Vitamin and Calcium supplement. Eat 3 to 4 meals per day.Stop eating at first sign of fullness. Do not over eat. Do no not eat and drink together. No fluids half an hour prior to meals, with meals and 1 hour after meals to allow fullness and proper digestion. Continue Phase 2 for ___.

      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.
