June 8th - 14th : What Phase are you in Today?



Recommended Posts

June 11th - I was 3 days Clear liquids and currently on full liquids through day 14, currently I am on day 11. Weird thing is that my Center's definition of full liquids includes SF pudding, SF smooth yogurt, plain greek yogurt, all things that seem to belong to Pureed/Smooth Foods for other programs, but classifies refried Beans and mashed potatoes as pureed foods...

I am soooo ready to try smooth / soft foods - on Day 14 my program jumps to both pureed/smooth foods and soft foods for two weeks and then regular foods (with caution of course)...

What are you eating today?

It amazes me how different each doctor treats each phase of this journey we are on. I'm now 6 weeks post op as of today. I see my surgeon on Wednesday & at that time I hope she puts me on solid foods. Right now I am on soft/pureed foods & have been since I saw her a month ago. I occasionally will "cheat" & have something more solid like a tiny piece of well steamed chicken &, as they say, chew, chew, chew. I have not had any issues with this but I don't make a habit of it. I'm more afraid of messing up my stomach which apparently is still healing. Even the NUTs have different ideas on when you can eat what. The one thing that seems true with all of us is that our new tummy's can only tolerate about 3 oz of food at a time. If you overeat you will be really really miserable for a couple of hours. I have learned to weigh & measure everything just to keep from overeating. No matter what, I'm still glad I did this.

      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.
