I had a RNY gastric bypass. According to my meal plan, the following foods are identified for up to 4 weeks after surgery. These are called full liquids and their definition is semi-solid or pudding like consistency. The foods are:

Strained baby cereals, cream of wheat, cream of rice, malt-o-meal, oatmeal, grits, cocoa wheat, farina, instant mashed potatoes, strained cream Soups, unsweetened applesauce, baby food fruits/vegetables, sugar free pudding, yogurt (non-fruit variety), low fat cottage cheese, low fat cheese, various Beans but not baked Beans.< /p>

sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello and broth is allowed as a snack between meals.

I had surgery on May 19th. I'm floating in your same boat. I just want FOOD! I'm allowed to have cream of chicken Soup and cream of mushroom Soups. I can also have coffee with sugar free Creamer. If you haven't tried Adkins mocha Protein Shakes, then you should..they are good! I also am allowed Greek yogurt. I get the strawberry kind and don't get the fruit. Check with you dr or nutritionist and see if any of these are ok with them. Like I said all doctors are different. I hope things get better!!

I felt the same way I was going insane!!! Not good advice but I had a few taste of foods and made sure I did not swallow them then spit them out :/ I tried that with soda not too long ago it look delish and it was so gross way too sweet that I won't be doing that again! :)

Since I'm 6 days in... do you know if sugar free fudge popsicles n sugar free pudding I can have now?

If it is liquid form at room tempurature. So Jello, pudding, and SF Popsicles all all considered liquid. Remember to strain the Soups.< /p>

Jello and popcicles I was allowed, pudding had to be thinned with milk to a fall off spoon. Lots of Soups made with milk and blended.. Broths were allowed too!

Keeba: I could have fudge pops after day 2 post op. I loved unflavored Protein powder in my Jello. And dannon fit&?? vanilla yogurt. The yogurt helped me stay full the longest.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
