Dr aceves mushies question



Recommended Posts

Hi y'all. I am in the mushies phase and I am trying to figure out if I can have soft whitefish like tilapia. Do you know if it is ok at this stage or if I need to wait until we move into the full foods phase? Thanks!

I would think so if you are tolerating everything that you should be. I was eating fish (stay away from salmon, though, too dense) after about ten days.

I had some tofu and did OK on it. The next day I tried some again it got stuck in my throat and I had the worst pain ever! Since then I've been back to full liquids and mushies again!

Yes, soft white fish is considered a mushie.

I got a finger wagging for eating chicken before the 30 day mark. I told Gaby what I was eating in my weekly email/update. She said no chicken/turkey/deil meat until 30 days to make sure the staple line is healing. She said even if I was tolerating it well that I needed to wait until 30 days. Soooooo....I'm back on softs today. Tomorrow makes thirty days. I bought a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich from the Breakfast cart and just ate the eggs and cheese. They tasted like bacon. mmmm...bacon.

I was tempted to not listen to Gaby, but how dumb would I feel if I messed something up even after they told me what to do?

      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.
