6 days out and ate food



Recommended Posts

Are you allowed to eat so soon? I cannot eat refried Beans until about 3 weeks from surgery. I hear some doctors are more lenient but 6 days sounds very early to me.

Wow that is fast! I have to wait 3 weeks too! I don't know if I should say your lucky or not....oh but to answer your question are you sure your really hungry or could it be head hunger? Maybe try to drink more fluids.

Drink Water as much as you can handle & I was allowed puréed foods on day 3 so don't stress everyone's doctors are different I had mashed potato .. But not much Protein in that though

I think it's okay to be a little hungry. Make sure you are following your doctor's protocol what ever that may be. If you are allowed soft foods, then make sure they are Protein rich. You will still need to do small meals ever 3 -4 hours and drink plenty of Water ~30 min after.

I was on purees the day I came home from the hospital. True story. I was in the hospital 2 days. My program does not have a pre-op liquid diet either. So it really does depends on your program. Oh, and my program is part of a bariatric center of excellence as well. My advice is to try to follow your program's directives, even if you see yahoos like me saying they were on purees two days post op. And don't beat yourself up about any lapse you might have. You are only human. This is a learning process and a life long journey.

I can't wait until I get to the point that I can eat refried Beans. Yum! I'm on Clear Liquids for the first 9 days.
