Post-Op Grocery List



Recommended Posts

I am making a grocery shopping list to prepare for the post-op diet. I don't want to get burned out on the same three foods and end up eating something I shouldn't. Can you all share what your typical post-op shopping list looks like?

Also, I like to juice fresh veggies and fruits and it usually ends up being a little pulpy. Would that be considered appropriate for stage two liquids? If the pulp was strained could it be the stage one Clear Liquids?

Thanks!!

Hi, i am new here as of last night. I have a meeting on June 13th about the surgery, so I hopefully will be joining the ranks soon. I am not sure just what you should do according to who or where you got your surgery done, but i did find this link on the net. Maybe you can view it and c what helps, if at all. Good luck!! http://www.murfsurg.com/dietary_guidelines_sleeve_gastrectomy.htm

Every dr is different. During the two weeks post op my dr only lets me have Clear Liquids plus a I can choose from a preapproved list of Protein Shakes to have 2oz 3x per day. fruit he told me is a no no for quite a few months because of the sugar. I can start canned vegetables or regular (as long as they are soft) veggies the third week if they are cut up tiny. So all I bought were shakes, Vitamins and some non caloric liquids like Powerade zero and crystal light.

My surgeon allows v8 juice, so I would think if you strained the pulp it would be okay, but of course you would want to check with your doc

I just wanted to say that yes everybody's diet can be different, but I think this is a great link for the many people around here that get any guidelines I am hoping to remember it when the next person asks :)

      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.
