Everyone's diet is different post-op, but just wondering what anyone else's is like.

Mine is 1 week of Clear liquids, 1 week of full liquids, 1 week of mushies and then I can start to introduce reg food.< /p>

Thanks!

I was on Clear Liquids with Protein for two weeks, six weeks of full liquid and then mushies for one weeks. I can officially start adding food in sometime in October. Unofficially, I started mushies early, and I am slowly adding foods that I can chew up well.

For me it was clear liquids while in the hospital, full liquids for two weeks, and then mushies for six weeks.

I was on clear liquids only for the two days I was in the hospital post-op. Then full liquids for 2 weeks, pureed foods for 6 weeks, soft foods for 4 weeks, and then on to full diet.

I'm on full liquids for 2 weeks (although my surgeon is extending that an additional week due to my trouble with getting fluids down still), 2 weeks thin puree, 2 weeks thick puree, 2 weeks soft foods then it's ok to reintroduce regular food back as tolerated. I'm hoping to be on regular food by my cruise Dec. 11th.

      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.
