Post-op Liquid diet

[cartmansnj 105]

I plan on asking my surgeon tomorrow but just wondering. I have been on the liquid diet for 2 weeks now and am supposed to start my pureed stage tomorrow. Would it be better if I can stay on the liquid diet if I can or should I start the pureed foods???

Do you mean "better" as in weight loss?

Or do you feel like your not ready physically to move on?

Sorry. I mean better as in weight loss. Dont get me wrong I dont like the liquid diet but feel I could do it for another week if it would be best.

It really isn't going to help in that way. If you are cleared for puréed food go for it! It's better for u nutritionally to start getting "real" food. So don't suffer unnecessarily, you will lose the weight if you follow the "diet"

I promise

Thanks for the input. That is what I figured I was going to hear!!

No problem! But no refunds on advice here!

If your surgeon says different tomorrow.

Your SOL

I agree with Laura. If the Nutritionist gives you the go-ahead then it is better for you nutritionally to move on and get your tummy used to more solid foods. You will still lose weight, don't worry. Just follow the NUTs advice and you will do fine!
