I have been so tired. I don't have the energy to work out. I used to exercise all the time before surgery. I can't even get through 30 minutes . Anybody else?

I am way tired... I force myself to walk around my block a couple times most days but then I sit around like a log afterward lol.

11 days post-op...went to Taco Bell today so I could eat with my husband. I ordered a chicken soft taco and a pintos and cheese. I ate the chicken out of the taco with a little sauce on it and about ten small bites of the Beans. So far so good. This is my first adventure eating outside the house. Makes me feel a little bit normal again. :)

Hi, All!

Sleeved 11/9, so I am 11 days out. Or 12. Whatever.

I've been on purees/mushies for four days now. Well-blended chicken salad, egg salad, scrambled eggs, soft cheese, yogurt.

Everything goes down just fine. My frustration is I am still really hungry all the time. Keep hoping it'll go away soon!

I would love to eat Tomato Soup and/or spaghetti sauce, but I was told no acidic foods until 3 weeks out, so 10 more days.

13 days post op.

One more wk of shake and anything through a strainer.

Doc was telling me about a patient that tried mashed potatoes 9 days post op is in icu for a leak. Not worth the risk imo

Being self pay not worth it at all.

Mashed potatoes are on my post-7 days menu! Although I see all these people eating Tomato Soup, and I'm not allowed that for 3 weeks, so post-op instructions really do vary by surgeon. In fact, I just finished a few tablespoons of mashed potatoes, and I am 11 (12?) days post-op.

I think it varies with each surgeon / hospital. From what I was told, leaks are very rare. Tomato Soup was on my pre-op diet, in fact they brought it to me while in the hospital. Mash potatoes were not. Surgeons preference I believe

I knew what you meant!

And I was on Clear Liquids only in the hospital. It is amazing how much they vary!

Clearly I have a very conservative surgeon, but I'm on Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids for 4 weeks post-op. I haven't taken a real bite of something besides sf popsicles in 5 weeks now :-). I'll be on blended foods another 2 weeks. Then soft foods another 2 weeks after that. "Regular" food 2 months post-op. Interesting....potatoes, cows milk, starchy veggies, and anything with >6g sugar per serving is on my "never again" list. Can't get over the differences in diet plans.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
