different post op protocols?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. While going through many of the post of people at different stages post op I've noticed that there is a great amount of variation from one doc to the next, so I am curious what your post op protocol was.

I am 2 weeks clears, 2 weeks fulls, and 2 weeks soft before solids.

Thanks

Tracy

First 2 days clear

2weeks full liquids with puree

3 to forever soft foods and adding anything to it one at a time

Doing great with this.

Still doing Protein drinks with it though!

And as you keep reading you'll find more variations - along with newly sleeved people who apparently got no post-op guidelines

      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.
