What are you "eating" Weeks 2-4 post op?



Recommended Posts

I'm 11 days post op, in week 2. I'm eating the following:

Breakfast: 3 tablespoons cream of wheat w/ 1 teaspoon of SF rasberry jam (no seeds)

Breakfast snack: 3 tablespoons cream of mushroom Soup w/ 1 tablespoon of melted shredded cheese (and 1 scoop of Protein powder)

Lunch: 1/2 Pure protein High Protein Bar

lunch snack: Going to eat 3 tablespoons mashed potatoes w/ 1 tablespoon of homemade Tomato sauce I'm using for the family's spaghetti & meatball dinner tonight

Dinner: Working on that / probably cream of broccoli soup w/ 1 scoop of Protein powder

What do you guys have?

What about fluids? What do you guys drink to keep those fluids up? I know we can't / shouldn't eat & drink at the same time, so what keeps you filled up & meeting your daily intake? I'm expected to have 32 oz of Fluid for now. Not quite there yet, unless you count my little 'liquid' meals :)

Week 4 Breakfast: Two Tbs malt-o-meal mixed with milk to make a liquid Mid-morning: Protein shake Lunch: 1/2 cup Strained Light Healthy Choice cream Soup Mid-afternoon: Protein Shake Dinner: 6 oz light greek yogurt eaten over an hour I'm only allowed liquids, LF/SF Yogurt and pudding, or popcycles until Feb. 7.

For fluids, I fit in enough Water or crystal light to add in to the rest of my fluids to 64 oz.

Wow! I'm impressed. I was still on full liquids until day 18. Even at 5 weeks I can't eat even close to that much. I've gotten 55-65 oz. fluids everyday since day 5 and liquids, broths and yogurt go down fine. But for anything more solid like bean Soup, cream of wheat, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, refried Beans, eggs, tuna fish, etc. I can only eat about 2 tablespoons no more than 2 - 3 times a day. I get so stuffed I can't drink for an hour or two even if I was allowed to. I still get most of my Protein from shakes. You are progressing astoundingly well.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
