I was put on mushie foods right out of the hospital and was fine. By day 10 i could probably stomach what you ate but would not dare to put those foods in my mouth. One thing you need to know that nerves in our stomach are numb for a while so the signals we are getting might not be very reliable. You might be injuring the stomach without knowing it. U have a 11 month old so there must be some baby food around the house. My doctor is very lenient since he had me on mushie foods right away but solids are out of the question unyil my 4 th week. Any baked goods even longer. Be careful! Good luck

When does your plan move to the next phase? And what is it?

I think you need to contact your physician/nutritionist to clarify what your plan allows. Being on only mushy/puree food for almost 3 months sounds like a long time. Did they give you written guidelines? Also, are you on a PPI like Prevacid or Prilosec?

You really should call your doc and explain what is going on. Many people think they are feeling hungry but it is actually acid, which Prilosec, Prevacid, etc would help. You also need to clarify your eating plan. You sound confused about your eating plan and you really need some guidance directly from the source....your doctor!

I'm concerned about how little my Dr has told me to consume...I fear dehydration, Hair loss, in ability to heal...I am 4 days post op and am home. My Dr has told me 60ml (1oz) clear Fluid every hour for the next 3 weeks...does this seem right?

No, no, no!! That is way too little fluid!!! You need to aim for 64 oz of Fluid a day. Please call your doctor and question this. Dehydration is a bad deal!!! Best wishes!!

60 ml = 2 ounces

Call your dr.

He told me 60ml every 2 hours which means 1 oz per hour...I think it's too little too, I'm heading to the nutritionist this afternoon

      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.
