Post op food guidelines



Recommended Posts

I can across this page and it laid everything out nicely for me. Maybe it will also help someone else who is getting ready for surgery. This is exactly what I needed and really makes me more comfortable with my new habits I need to create post op.

Thank you! This is very helpful as I am in preop stage and researching how to eat properly afterwards. :D

That's EXACTLY how I feel. Show me what I need and I can follow it. Make me search and come up with my own plan, I will fail.

Your nutritionist should have given you this at some point. Was that not the case?

I see her in a few weeks for my pre op.

This is a lot like the diet my doctor gave me, although it does progress slightly faster on a couple of things. :)

I looked at this site also and copied it. Loved the way it laid out the sample guidelines.

I wasn't trying to be rude. It honestly worried me if nutritionists weren't giving this. :) You are like me, you want to know this stuff ASAP. :)

Enjoy the journey!

I'm the same way about wanting to know asap. I have a generic guide from my surgeon but this lays it out way better.

just always refer to your nutritionist and surgeon because my post op diet is VERY different from this one.

Great overview. The one given to me by my nutritionist was similar, but it covered up to 7 weeks.

Keep doing research this will get you mentally ready for post-op.

      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.
