I feel like I can eat too much for 2 weeks Post Op



Recommended Posts

Im almost 2 weeks out and I can only eat a few little bites of pureed meats and only a half of a scrambled egg... but yogurt? I can eat a full 4 oz no prob. (I eat slowly still, making it last about 25 min). same with thinned mashed potatoes. Is this normal? Can I eat that much of those things because they are thinner? I stop when I feel satisfied/done but thats at 4 oz or so.

im worried that Im over eating! But I honeslty dont feel full or satisfied as quick as I do with eggs.

Lori,

You won't really feel much restriction with anything liquid. Your stomach is basically a funnel right now for Soups, and shakes. The same holds true for yogurt. The reason you feel full with the egg is it is slightly more dense. =) You are doing fine, just keep in mind as you move to soft foods to keep that slow pace you are using on the yogurt

I'm glad I found this topic, if I make mashed potatoes like a Soup, ( with cottage cheese and soy milk), I can eat it, I can tolerate pudding and greek yogurt if I eat slowly, (30-45 minutes per meal). I too felt as if I can eat too much even though I was sleeved a week ago today. My surgeon and her team let me leave the hospital on a stage 3 diet. The other day I had a few slices of pureed roast chicken and broth and I ate it as a Soup. I tolerated it okay, but I started feeling as if I was eating too much or moving too fast.

Thank you so much for creating this post, if you, (or anyone), has any tips, or believes I am moving too fast please let me know, my follow-up isn't until the 10th of September and I feel as if I'm doing things wrong even though I'm sticking to the plan, ( weird I know!)

wow Kandis I wish I was sent home on stage three because I so wanted to chew real food. I think the main thing is getting in the fluids and Proteins and we should be fine as I have been reading this forum for days. Best thing I came across was this forum. I'm 16 days out 23 lbs down and starting to feel like this was the best thing for my health. Good luck and hang in there. I was told we're on a good journey.

@@jelmore8312000 I'm starting to realize that stage 3 diets vary depending upon the surgeon. My stage three diet looks more like a stage two with yogurt and pudding. There's no pureed food, I only tried pureed foods and mashed potatoes because I saw it in another stage three diet, but I can have scrambled egg whites, and those are the hardest to digest!

We're on an amazing journey indeed, there's gonna be major ups and downs, but I know we can get through it!! Best of luck!

      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.
