What did you eat 10 days post-op?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

This is my first thread. I was banded on March 10, 2014. Today I am 10 days post op. I lost 13.8 pounds so far! This is very exciting for me BUT I AM HUNGRY! I can consume more then 4oz every hour and I won't lie.. I had a few bites of food (scrambled egg, a few bites of a mashed potato ..) I never got the "stuck" feeling and I took small bites and was satisfied. Am I horrible?! What did you eat 10 days post-op?

I was banded on the 13th and I am on the full liquid diet. I have not tried to eat anything else for fear of getting stuck or vomiting. Believe me I thought about it. I do find my self hungry at times. I'm hoping the increased Protein helps. I'm going to make smoothies for Breakfast with protein in them and a few grits. I've found that ducking on candy helps me. But other ladies may have better suggestions than me.

I guess different doctors have different restrictions. I was banded on Monday, with a 2 week pre-op diet. Monday and Tuesday were liquids only. Wednesday and Thursday I could progress to soft foods and today my post - op days I can go to normal diet (minus carbs, etc). I haven't tried anything risky yet, and my doc did start with a small fill, but I ate boiled eggs yesterday. And I plan to try oatmeal today.

I was on liquids the first 2 weeks after surgery, but my doctor allowed oatmeal and soggy Cereal during this phase. I ate a lot of Soup.< /p>

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
