JessRose 9 Posted February 4, 2014 Hello! I had surgery jan 30, 2014. I'm struggling to understand what I need to be eating. 5 days post op I realized I could have been having Soups, sf pudding. I had been miserable and extremely nauseous only eating Protein Shakes. Any way, I wanted to introduce myself and say thank goodness there is an easily accessible support group. So today is day 6 post op and I've lost 20lbs. 2 BigGirlPanties and MelodyP reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGirlPanties 957 Posted February 4, 2014 Great job! Congrats and welcome! Didn't your doctor give you a booklet on the do's and don'ts? You will get lots of help here! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teachamy 1,042 Posted February 4, 2014 You need to check with your surgeon's office/nutritionist. They must have diet information for you. I got a binder! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessRose 9 Posted February 4, 2014 Yes they did give me one but I must have been confused when I left. The person who was supposed to give me discharge information and discussion was in a meeting when I was discharged so the nurse gave me a rundown and I thought I was on the stage 1 liquid diet for 8 days. Come to find out I was on stage 2 after 24 hrs which includes cream Soups, sf pudding, yogurt, cottage cheese. I was so annoyed because I had been so fatigued and nauseas. I had "food" last night once I read over my booklet again and I'm feeling so much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGirlPanties 957 Posted February 4, 2014 They shouldn't have released you until they gave you the info, imo BUT... you are on track, so it's all good. You are probably fatigued more because of the surgery itself...you are still healing, give your body time to recover! If the nausea continues, contact your doctor, a lot of us needed something for nausea just after the surgery...and keep going with your Water, VITAL ingredient!

JessRose 9 Posted February 4, 2014 I lost 12 lbs from date of surgery. I haven't been eating much due to the post above and have been walking every day. Walking every day is so exhausting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
