Clueless About Diet After Gastric Sleeve Surgery!



Recommended Posts

My surgeon posts his post-op diet plans online. You can find the Sleeve guidance here (just ignore the dates for progression since your surgeon has you on a different timeline, but the food examples should be of some help:

thank you for posting this! My DH is having the sleeve surgery in five weeks and the info he brought home wasn't making sense to me. Between this and his info, I think I can help him make some good meal plans. :)

I am considering this surgery, and I would like to ask you all a question related to this subject. Are you all having a lot of hunger? Or are you making these food choices based on what you *need* to be eating? I have been told that things smell really good but you can only eat a bite or two before feeling "full". Is that somewhat accurate?

I haven't been sleeved yet but am considering it and trying to get my head around the dietary changes I will need to make.

      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.
