eating too soon?

[traycrow83 18]

Ok today was the first day after surgery I felt like I could keep anything down. I had surgery 3/14. So today was day 4 post op. Im starving...this liquid stuff is killing me. Did anyone start eating purees sooner if you felt like you could? If so how was it. I tried some vegtable Soup today and chewed some vegatables really well and seemed to be fine. I just dont wanna do that if its gonna screw with my healing. Let me know what you think. Thanks

After day four I could eat cottage cheese, oatmeal, grits, egg whites, apple sauce. All in 1/4 cup increments.

Thats good to know. I was going to attemp cottage cheese tomorrow. What about Protein Shakes? Yogurt?

what has your dr/nut said? They had me on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks, followed by 6 weeks of full liquids...which i'm still on. It's been difficult. Most people end up doing a 2x2x2 diet. 2 weeks clear, 2 weeks full, 2 weeks mushies to softs. I'd kill for some cauliflower and fish at this point.

My nut said to do one week clear liquids and then move on to purees. I seem to be doing well on the liquids but im hungry. I was gonna try to eat some cottage cheese or maybe some vegatable Soup again tomorrow.

Thanks matt. I think I might try that. Im also gonna call my doctor tomorrow to see if he thinks this will be ok. Im hoping they will it least let me have a Protein shake, yogurt or cottage cheese so I can get some Protein in and not feel so hungry.

My doc only has us eat stained soup and thin cream of wheat or oatmeal, yogurt for 3 days then start soft foods until 8 week then full diet. I never had to do purée at all. I'm 8 weeks out and have not had issues at all.

My Dr said no chunks said to strain. I heard that it is possible to get stuff caught in staple line. Be careful. Creamy Soups r good but strain also.

So yeah all of our doctors are different... You know I even got a different plan than a girl that had it the same day as me with my doc.

Following someone else's plan is probably not a good idea.... Sorry

Everyone I know that has had the same doctor as me or went through the same bariatric clinic all have the same rules reguarding what to eat and when. I know all doctors are different thats why im going to call mine tomorrow before I attemp anything.

Didn't mean to offend but you said you already ate off off plan and wanted opinions....

I will say that at 4 days out your stomach is still numb so things will not necessarily "hurt"

But can cause damage.
