Does Anyone Else Have To Make Sample Menus?



Recommended Posts

Hi...on Monday, I have my 5th class with my NUT. During the 4th class, we were given instructions to get the Vitamins that we will be taking after surgery and to put together a sample liquid, pureed, and solid food menu. The sample menu they showed us was in 10 minute increments! I guess it's really good to learn how to do this, but how well are all you post-op VSGs able to stick to a menu like that. I mean are you or did you drink every 10 minutes the first couple of weeks post surgery?

Hi JustSleeveIt, I'm still pre-op but my friend had RnY and had to do the same thing. I also just got that assignment from my Nut. My friend told me that after her surgery she was literally always sipping. She still has a fear of being dehydrated over a year out.

Looking back I remember her always having a water bottle. She was either sipping Protein or Water at any given moment. She even had all her bottles for the day measured out and ready to go. She did really well with that. She didn't stick to any times (other than the half hour rule) though like the assignment they have us doing.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
