Pureed foods? how soon ?



Recommended Posts

I had my one week post op appt today. Was REALLY hoping the doctor would have be move to the pureed stage but said I needed to be on liquid diet for one more week. I am so so so done with this as I had to do it two weeks prior to op too....Just curious what other doctors are saying?

Two weeks of full liquids is pretty normal:)

You may see some people here that advanced sooner per their doctors orders for whatever reason. But you need to remember that your stomach is still not anywhere close to healed yet :(

Hang in there it get easier, it just takes time.

Oh that sucks! I was really lucky. I didn't have to do a liquid diet prior to surgery, I watched what I ate but never went to liquids. After surgery I did liquids for 1 week then was released to eat regular food, just had to make sure to chew really well. It's crazy how different every drs thinking is on this. Hang in there, you're almost out of this phase. Just tell yourself it'll all be worth it in the end. Good luck! :)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
