2 week post op visit, moved to mushies, full on 3 fork fulls?



Recommended Posts

Went for my two weeks post op appointment today, and the doctor moved me on to mushies, oh how I have been waiting for the mushy stage after not eating anything since the 23rd of last month. I was so excited to get home and puree some tuna, and that is what I did, problem is that after three fork fulls, I felt very full, is this normal? After a few hours I ate some yogurt, and it seemed I could get more of that down than the tuna. Will I be able to tolerate more as time goes on?

Two weeks post op, down 40 lbs since starting the liquid diet 5 days prior to surgery, and my Blood Pressure is already down by a lot, dr is taking me of the BP med already!

I could not be happier!

Thats great news about the BP meds. How fantastic is that? Excellent on the weight loss too!!!! I'm doing full liquids for another 3 weeks. I do find that when I eat cottage cheese I fill full fast after three bites. The same with the yogurt. On week five I can progress to tuna and any food that I can mash with a fork. I'm so looking for that. There maybe more restriction now that you are getting something other than liquids in. I felt more restriction after the broth and Water stage.

I am on mushie foods as well, I am16days post op, I can only eat 2-3 little fork fulls of food as well. Sometimes I just have broth with a noodle or something, lol. It goes down way better and I don't get that yucky feeling that is going to come back up your throat. My doc said that is the sign that you prob ate to fast or over ate.... 2-3 little fork full size? Can't wait to start eating normal, I worry myself that I am not getting enough... oh wait... I forgot to take my Flinestone Vitamins today!!! it's 10:18pm where I am... brb :) gotta eat Fred Flinestone!

      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.
