Advice needed... Liquid to puree 5days post surg



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am 5 days post sleeve surgery and I think just nervous. I was on my liquid diet up through yesterday and this morning introduced a few bites of unsweetened applesauce. My heart seems to been moving a little quicker. But other than that I feel fine. I was checked for a leak on day two. I had my lap band removed 9weeks ago. Did anyone notice difference when going from liquid to puréed, maybe cuz my body hasn't had it in a while?

I had to delay purees for one more week. I could not keep it down.. It took me till about week 5 to not having to regurgitate my purees. But with a click of the finger. I could eat beef, etc. At. The beginning of week 6.

I didn't start puréed until 18 days out and even then it took a week or so before I could tolerate more than 1-2 tbls.

Was on puréed the day I came home from the hospital. At 1 week out I went to soft foods. Both times it took about a day to adjust.

Thanks! I have stuck to watered today and my heart has slowed. I just had low fat refried Beans and not the reaction from this morning. It is hard not knowing what is going on on the inside

      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.
