Post Opp diet

[paj92434 27]

Hello, I was wondering how many people followed the diet to a T after surgery. Did you start any food earlier? I am 10 days out and I had scrambled eggs this morning. I did not have any problems with them. I am supposed to be on full liquids till Tue. My stomach seems to growl all the time. I was just wondering what your experiences with food were during your first 6 weeks. Thanks

I'm 10 days post op as well. I have not tried anything outside liquid. We went to olive garden last night I got Pasta e fagoli and asked just for the broth so delicious.

Of course I brought lots of it home

Follow it to a T. Those rules are there for a reason. Just because you don't notice any ill effects doesn't mean there aren't any. You trusted your doctor to perform surgery on you, trust him now.

I was on full liquids for a month and then purees for a month. I followed my surgical team's instructions precisely. I didn't pay a bunch of money and take the risk of surgery to play fast and loose with the rules after it was over.

My doc said to advance to stage 2 diet upon discharge from the hospital. This includes a pre determined amount of the following... yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, cream of wheat, Jello, Soup, SF pudding for one meal and 60 - 80 oz Protein via shake broken into meals or however we can get it in us...sipping all day, whatever.....it trips me out that some people are still on Clear Liquids for weeks.

Hello, I find that I am so hungry. I don't understand why, Its more than head hunger because my stomach is growling. I understand that I went through this surgery for a reason but one main one is I thought I WOULD NOT BE HUNGRY!!!! Why am I hungry??? My start weight in this process was 248. I did not take this surgery lightly or for granted. I am just being honest, I am on full liquids but did have some things yesterday against my diet. I think I better just suck it up & deal with it and hope things get easier. to Loseit2014 thank you so much for your honestly!!

@@paj92434 if your stomach is growling and you feel hungry, you may need to be on a PPI. If you are already on one, you may need a stronger one or a bigger dose. Excess acid production after surgery is a normal thing, and it will make your stomach growl and make you feel hungry. Maybe check with your surgeon or PCP?
