One Week Post Op And I Wanna Eat Something!

[nancy_marie_00 10]

I am ome week out and not really hungry just need to chew.....what did other people eat at one week post op?

The crunch of sf tropical frozen popsicles helped some. I was on full liquids for the first two weeks post op.

I was the same way.. I was allowed egg whites, so I made myself some scrabbled egg whites, ate two bites and that took care of that.

Egg whites sound delish!!! Maybe I will wait the week out..I don't wanna screw up my stomach..my dr says clear liquid for 3 wweeks..blah

[Meredit 15]

Clear Liquids for 3 weeks, OMG.. I would have gone insane. I'm on week two and on mushies, I thought this would be the best thing EVER, but it's not that great.

My docs were clear liquids for 3 weeks.

3 weeks clear liquids? Good god! I'm glad Dr. Aceves is not as evil!

[Lissa 2,631]

Amen on clear liquids for 3 weeks! UGH! I had 1 week of clears, then 1 week of full liquids, then onto mushies.

Oh, to answer the question! LOL Try the popsicles or even chewing ice. That may help the need to chew.

LOL! It's so funny to see all the newly 1 week post ops posting this topic. I posted the same topic at day 5! Man, the 1st month is the pits. It's true. It will be a far distant memory pretty soon though. It's only temporary. Popsicles were my saving grace. Doesn't help that I am cold ALL THE TIME, but when you need to chew, you need to chew. Try Jello too. Jello was on my clear liquid diet so I think you will be OK with SF jello. Good luck. It gets SOO Much better!

Lol! I just had this same conversation with my bff! I need to CHEW! I am 8 days post op and want to chew! I ate a popcicle earlier, that helped a bit... I just keep reminding myself of all the crazy diets I've tried in the past. Everyone says it gets better We got this!

Gummie Vitamins and Jell-O did it for me.

Try egg drop Soup from Chinese resturant. I was craving the salt and something more like food and less sweet.

Yup! Egg drop soup was my saving grace! I pretended to "chew" the pieces of egg to death! made all the difference in the world cuz I was sick of sweet Jello (or anything sweet) by day 6.

My niece made sf Jello jigglers for me,,they are more dense so much chewier than regular jello and they are richer in flavor..yummy..I still crave them. Freeze fruit flavored drinks like Isopure, ,you get to chew and get some Protein in at the same time. I think it taste better frozen. I completed a week and 1/2 of liquids till I got a leak then on nothing..no food or drink just tpn for 2 1/2 weeks,,then back to square one when the leak healed..2 more weaks of liquids. And the sad part was while on tpn,,I gained back 13 pounds so I had to lose that same weight twice. Reason for long post,,is that if I can do it,,you sure can. Just hang in there..it'll be worth it real soon and you won't remember all this.
