QUESTION- CAN WE EAT PUDDING AT 4 DAYS POST OP?

[Shari71 85]

@@Forsythia Yep. That's my issue also. No appetite. But today I was feeling really shaky. I got in 48oz fluids yesterday. But today it's hard! And on top of all of that I decided to do a bit of shopping. Not a good idea at all needless to say. I've never seen Protein pudding at GNC. Been there several times lol lol Will definitely pick up a pack tomorrow for sure ???? Thanks ????

I'm 5 days out and struggling with the balance as well. My dr has 4 phases. 1st was Clear Liquids for the first 2-3 days. Then days 3-14 are full liquids. pudding, Greek yogurt, soups(creamed/puréed ) and strained, cream of wheat etc but not much more than that. I'm full eating the 2-4 oz at each sitting but then I do actually get pretty hungry after a few hours, which surprised me. I am getting in about 40-50 oz of water/fluids and about 50g of Protein via Protein powders mixed in soups/puddings etc at the end of the day.

I'm hoping when I go for post op checkup on thurs he graduates me to next phase which is still soft / puréed foods but allows something more substantial. cottage cheese, ricotta, mushed over ripe bananas etc.

I am a little worried about the lack of weight loss. After the surgery my scale said I gained 10 lbs from my surgery weight. Then 2 days ago the scale said I was down 10 lbs from my surgery weight and tonight scale says I gained 4 lbs from my surgery weight. Whhaaaaaat is going on!

I'm all over the place. Anyone else struggling post op? Is this normal?

Stay away from the scale. It will drive you crazy. If you must weigh no more than once a week. Even then make it make it consistent. Same day of the week and same time of day.

as others have suggested, talk with your surgeon

My surgeon allowed it, so I bought some Protein pudding On line. 15g of protein! Took me all day to eat, but still super good!
