I wan to eat. Diet Questions



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on March 12th. Here we are the night of March 19th. Im dying for something to eat. I did a 30 day diet before surgery which I did great on and worked well for me. I lost a little over 20 pounds. Then the day before surgery was clear liquid all day, and since surgery Clear Liquids. I drink Water, a bit of juice, and if I can stand the taste, a couple sips of broth. For some reason I thought that at my first follow up visit, I went from just clear liquids to full liquids. But apparently I must have made that up in my head because it's not in my book they gave me. It only says that Protein Shakes can be added. I hate shakes. Every single one makes me vomit. I found one that I can drink a few sips of here and there and be ok. But that is it. I just want to eat something. Honestly, I don't care if I even swallow the food. I want to chew something. I want to taste something. I just want to feel like im eating something even if i'm not. Gum isn't an option for me because I swallow it very easily and that would be really bad. 2 weeks on just water, juice, and sips of broth here and there? Is everyone's post-op diet like this? When I go to my dr tomorrow im considering asking him if I can add any other kind of liquids to my diet like Tomato Soup or something so I can feel like im not going absolutely crazy.

When I was on week one I had SF Jello and SF Popsicles. At the hospital the gave me Ms. Dash for my broth and it made it so much better. At my one week follow up, I was allowed SF pudding made with Lactose Free 1% milk, Tomato Soup and Low sugar oatmeal. Call your Dr and ask bc everyone is different but I totally understand...by day 6 of Clear Liquids I was going nuts!!! Oh...I had my surgery March 11th. Hope it turns out 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.
