3 days post op.. WHAT DO I EAT?



Recommended Posts

yogurt (kroger carb master' date=' danon light smoothie/yougurt)

low fat cottage cheese,apple sauce (will be hard to find sugar free bc of natural sugar)

cream Soups (solid pieces strained, you shouldnt be eating any chunks!)

broths.

Protein shakes (3 gram rule. no more than 3 grams of fat/sugar per serving)

Dont exceed 4oz per meal

Just because its a liquid doesnt mean you should eat it lol.

Thats the list my surgeon has given me. I will have to do that for 3 weeks.[/quote']

Thanks for ALL of your suggestions!!!! I'm only on Clear Liquids for week 1 per my surgeon, but I'm so looking forward to trying all of the different suggestions next week :)

I'm on day 9 of clears and share your boredom! A lot of the foods mentioned above are not clears - so just make sure you're following the diet your surgeon wants you to be on.

I am living on beef or chicken bouillon' date=' sugar free Jello, sugar free pops, diluted apple juice. I've been alternating them every day, all day. My MD keeps his patients on clears for 2 weeks post-op. I'm really looking forward to Jan 2nd!![/quote']

Boredom is not the word!!!! Thank God I only have to be on clear liquids for 1 week!!!!! So looking forward to next week when I can have Soups & shakes!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
