Need Help For Post Op Diet Please...



Recommended Posts

My nectar samples are on backorder. I was supposed to choose my flavors from them to mix with my Bariatric Advantage wild berry punch crystals. So, I decided just to mix a little of the crystals to check out the taste and I don't think I'm gonna be able to stomach that 3 times a day post-op! Before I call my Dr. Office in am since this is what they have in their post-op instructions to take what are some alternatives? Did any of you take Vitamin pills instead after sleeve? Is the double stuff nectar good for first 2 weeks post op? What are some other good flavors? Need to get this stuff ordered soon. Thanks :)

I did some of the nectar Protein - the Roadside Lemonade was pretty decent mixed half with Water and half with lemonade crystal light. Some of the other flavors were too strong.

My surgeon and nutritionist OK'd me to take a softgel Multivitamin (Nature Made multi complete) because I couldn't stand the liquids or chewables.< /p>

I thought the nectar was Ok prior to surgery, after surgery, I can't tolerate it, its just too sweet. I wouldn't order too much. If I could do it again. I would get just enough stuff on hand for about a week, then go to GNC and try stuff....after surgery. My tastes have changed so much. Don't know if it will last but the thought of sweet stuff turns my stomach. Best of luck to you.

      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.
