nagem 73 Posted June 30, 2013 My surgery is July 8th and my surgeon has said nothing to me about what to eat after , my mom had the bypass done a few years back so she pretty much knows the deal but most of you have shakes and supplements and I have none of that and it's making me more and more nervous ahhhh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoiaRox 430 Posted June 30, 2013 Call your surgeon first thing tomorrow and tell him your concerns - you need to be fully prepared for this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs.RRn 2,111 Posted June 30, 2013 This is a good place to start. Browse through to have an idea of what you'll be eating after, but always follow your DR's plan. Good luck!!! For me, my diet was : Week 1- Clear liquids - sugar free Jello, popsicles, Water, broth Week 2- full liquids- I started Protein shakes this week. I HATED the ones I originally bought, so I switched to Carnation Instant Breakfast no sugar added and I added unflavored Protein powder (isopure) and I had creamy Soups (no potato). Week 3- soft foods- I ate mostly canned tuna, tuna salad, chicken salad, and Greek yogurt Week 4- I'll be starting more solid foods on Tuesday. Basic rules--must drink 64oz a day, must have at least 60g of Protein a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antinette 19 Posted July 1, 2013 I am having my surgery the same day as you. The surgeon should have gone over everything with you step by step already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
