2 Weeks Post Op, Pureed

[Jesusislove 26]

Today, I was 2 weeks post op, and I started pureed foods for one week. I can hardly eat anyting, full after two bites. I can have scrambled eggs on this level, and it took me all day to eat two eggs. Before preop diet 232, before surger 220, and 207 today. 8 more pounds until onderland. I am excited, about not being able to eat a lot at one sitting. I can eat every hour, but not a lot, and that is good. I see myself at goal already. Hitting the gym, if the doc says so, tommorrow.

Also, had a lot of acid last week. Incisions healing, but was hurting. I willl ask for a acid reducer, which one is the best?

Good for you! My doctor prescribed Prevacid and told me to stop taking Prilosec. Not sure why.

[Jesusislove 26]

I had some prisolec at home, and it really did not work well for the acid. I will see what the doc says tomorrow at the 2 week post op visit. How is the prevacid working?

Wonderfully.

Just got back from 2 week post op appointment, and the staples were taken out. The largest incision no longer stings/hurt, it was the staples. Also, she prescribed nexium for my acid. My weight today was 205. I will see the doc again in 4 weeks.

That's awesome news. You are now only 6 lbs to onederland! Hope the nexium helps.

HI Andi. I'm eating greek yogurt (Oikos is not too bad) and egg drop Soup from my neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Tried cream of wheat. Hated it, but bought some sugar-free Pollaner all-fruit to try to make it taste a little better. Cottage cheese -- don't like that, either, but I just force myself to down it.

I hear refried Beans are good. I bought some fat-free refried Beans today but noticed it's kinda high in carbs, too. But many here say that's what they eat and that they like it with a little sprinkle of cheese and a little bit of fat-free sour cream. Might try that tonight.

I'm finding it hard to get the Protein in but I just keep trying different things. And what about eggs? Did your NUT clear you for those?

Good luck to you.

I can only start pureed this week, soft foods next week. I am eating baby food fruit, toddler pureed, scrambled eggs (it says I can have it on the pureed list), 1tsp of Peanut Butter mixed with my Protein shake. Peanut Butter is on the list. Light applesauce, and cream Soups blended. Soy Fruit and Protein milk, really good, don't drink much but it helps the acid calm down. Drinkng Water. The Protein Shake makes my tummy nauseated a little, so I will drink it much slower tomorrow. Hot and Sour Soup with an extra egg from Chinese restaurant, without the mushrooms, and I don't eat the meat and veggies in it, just the juice and eggs bits.

I have a list from my NUT who I saw today and I can start mushy foods today for the next five weeks. I have a pretty long list of things I can eat but I can only eat 1/4 cup at one time. I went to the store but being able to eat food again seems so overwhelming and I'm not sure what I'm going to eat?
