Where are you in the process?

[dsheive 100]

I am a week out liquids. By them should be on soft "real" food

You didn't get any post-op diet instructions prior to your surgery? I've not seen/heard of a program that didn't give you dietary guidelines for your pre and post-op diets..... I could share my post-op diet plan with you, but every program is different, so if you got instructions from your surgeon, you should definitely follow those.

i got an entire book on what to eat, what not to eat and even what to eat in a pinch, i am with you @@JamieLogical i have never seen a plan where you get no guidelines.

they are all def different reach out to your surgical team or the surgeons nutritionist. i wasnt allowed to switch phases until i was seen by the PA

I know how you feel. I had a tumor and ended up with a partial gastric bypass to boot. I am 11 days out and kind of winging it. I asked the NUT how much I should be consuming. She and the surgeon both told me I will have to go by how my stomach feels because I have more stomach and a larger opening than most that have this surgery. I am at the moment on full liquid. I see the surgeon in 3 days, I am assuming I will move to soft food stage then...I hope.

Good luck

So it sounds like you are on full liquids now? During my full liquids phase I was allowed strained creamed Soups, drinkable yogurt, and, most importantly, Protein Shakes. I would usually get in two ready-to-drink shakes a day, some of one pouch of drinkable yogurt, and maybe a half cup of Soup at lunch and dinner? I tried pretty much every single kind of cream soup my grocery store sold for variety.

[dsheive 100]

Just Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes. No yogurt or cream Soups. I've had nothing with body sence July 17th-Aug 4th (I hope). I also had an ephogus ulcer so that could be why he's starving me to death. Lol

dsheive, they also found Barrett's Esophagus while they were in there. Jamie, Yes that is pretty much what I am doing now. they sent me home with a little sheet that said Protein shakes and flavored Protein waters, creamed Soups, light fruited yogurt, lots of Water. Hoping pathology comes back good and I can strive forward. I saw my primary care yesterday and asked that he refer me to a dietitian at our little home town hospital. The hospital I had the surgery at is 80 miles a way, but our hospital here is one of their campus's.

My doctor doesn't want to give me the sleeve since I have Barrett's esophagus. He wants me to have the bypass. Those that had the sleeve with Barrett's do you have a lot of GERD or acid? I don't want the bypass and I don't know what to do. Help please.
