Quick Question - Please help me



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I'm new here, 12 days post-op. Was wondering if someone could answer a quick question for me.

My dietician has said I can start on my purée phase on Saturday including having mushy scrambled eggs. My favourite scrambled eggs include fresh chives.

My question is - is there a chance the chives could get caught in my staples?

I would hate to do anything to make myself sick and I forgot to ask the dietician.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Thank you in advance :-)

chives should not be a problem...but you can always check with your dietician to be 100% sure... they encourage spices and herbs...so with that said, my thought would be it's ok...(they wouldn't get caught in your staples...but may upset your tum tum)

During my soft mushy stage, as long as it was soft it was okay. I was warned against eating hard things like sunflower seeds, even ground up, because there might be a small hard bit that wasn't fully ground up and might get stuck in my staple line. Just make sure the chives are fresh, not dried and I think you would be okay with them.

Thanks very much for both of your input. I had them today and they were deluxe! Only problem was when I put cream instead of milk in my coffee - instant tummy ache :-(

      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.
