How many days before Mushies...



Recommended Posts

I was wondering - since everyone's post op diets are so different. How long do people need to wait before moving to a mushie diet.

Thanks

In our practice Dr. C and I rec to wait one week before Puree foods and 2 weeks before initiating soft solids.

We didn't get a "mushie" stage.

Days 1-3/7 (meaning days 1 through 3rd or 7th) - Clear Liquids

Starting on day 4-8 add pourable yogurt

Starting on 7 add creamy Soups

Day 8-10 add Protein shakes

Don't go past that for 3 weeks, then eat whatever but chew 30 times and no liquid an hour before, during or an hour after. Also once you start eating everything must be a "meal" - no Protein replacement shakes.< /p>

When you eat, protein first, then veggies, then fruits, then carbs.

I was on liquids for ten days after my surgery. I did mushies for another week and then on to normal foods. It worked well for me.

The first time I had the liquid yogurt it was like mentally eating a pie :) SOOOOO good!

And tomorrow is day 7. I am so bad, I have my creamy Soup out and ready to heat.

I haven't been banded yet but my Dr. has told me that post-op I will be on a liquid diet for 4 weeks followed by another 4 weeks of mushie food. Right now that seems forever!! :)

Wow, I had it easy - 1 day of clear liquids pre-op, then 3 days liquids (clear or full) post-op, then on day 4 I could start with yogurt, cottage cheese, soft boiled eggs, runny cream of wheat, jars of baby food, creamy Soups, etc.

I was on a liquid diet for four weeks. Never had to do clear liquids past the first day. I could have anything I could get in a straw for 4 weeks.

      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.
