How many days before Mushies...



Recommended Posts

I did Clear Liquids for 2 days post-op, then full liquids for one week, then was allowed to advance to pureed/soft foods, like scrambled eggs, oatmeal, puddings, yogurts for one week. I tolerated that well so I will be able to advance to all mushies for one week, then on to regular foods. Yay! I have not had any problems with any particular foods yet. The first week post-op, I really had no appetite at all. Hang in there!

I was allowed to start mushies on day 8, if I were starving, and after a test meal of a scrambled egg. If I could keep it down without any problems at all, I was cleared for mushies. I ate it, it was the best food I ever put into my mouth, so I proceeded on.:frown:

      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.
