Able to eat 4oz (103 g) of pudding 8 days from surgery-no problemWHAT?!



Recommended Posts

A little freaked out that I was just able to consume an entire cup of sugar free Jello pudding in 7 minutes this close to my surgery date! I felt full when I finished but not even remotely uncomfortable, is it due to the consistency that I was able to consume that much? Since starting on yogurt, pudding, Soups on Sunday (6 days post-op) I have had an actual feeling of hunger. I am just over-worrying about this whole process and maybe it won't work for me! I see my surgeon on Friday for staple removals and will ask then, but in the meantime can anyone else share a similar story from their experience?

Does your surgeon allow sf pudding that close to surgery?

You may be able to do that now, but after your surgery you will not be able to consume pudding until week 3 and even then you will not be able to eat it that quick.

I think she is post op.

We are all different. Now you know why they call it "slider" food. It slides right by the sleeve. And here's something to think about, just because you can eat something doesn't mean you should. You're fresh out of surgery....don't push your limits. It's natural to want to know where the boundary is....it will become apparent as soon as you start on solid food again. The full feeling will come very quickly.

I was allowed pudding week 1 post op but I never attempted a full cup. My suggestion would be to only eat half for awhile even if you CAN eat a full cup. No reason to push to your limit, especially if you don't want it. Pudding is not very nutritious unless you are adding Protein Powder, so save the room you have for something you need.

I was given pudding in the hospital. I could easy a lot more of that than other foods.

The issue is to eat till you dont feel hunger not till you are full. I never ate to my max because I never felt the urge to - why bother making your stomach full and stretching it all over again?

Yes, I could eat a whole cup of pudding as well. I think it's because of the consistency. I am now on soft foods and had mashed fish and broccoli the other day and had to take time and couldn't eat very much.

Don't worry. Just go slow.

Just keep in mind that is 30-60 less calories a day you can use to get in Protein rich food. When I was allowed pudding I would have 1/8c at a time and I made it myself with skim milk and unflavored protein powder.

I'm all about most bang for my buck.

      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.
