Still on liquids 10 days out.



Recommended Posts

I am 4 days out of surgery. The day after my surgery, still in hospital, my morning was liquid then i had scramble egg for lunch. I was home for dinner but didnt eat anything. The next day i had egg and the chicken puree. Then the next 2 days were the same. Of course with protien drinks and Water everyday. I was told the first month was a puree diet then on to normal foods. I feel guilty for eating my purred mess lol

Sounds like there is a bunch of us in the same stage and along with you, i want to remember it is just a short stage. I am fighting the temptation to experiment with what i can tolerate but that seems like it would defeat the purpose of this whole thing.

Every doctor has a different rule, to how many days on full liquid after sleeve surgery. My doctor tells me 1 week after.

each program seems to be different. 2 weeks liquid, 2 weeks puree, 2 weeks soft, done. I am sure they have their reasons. soon it will all be over, and well worth it!!!

      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.

      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.
