I need food! 7 days post op



Recommended Posts

Im 5 days post op and i felt pretty accomplished that I was able to finish an entire Premier Protein and a bottle of Water yesterday! I had a hiatal hernia so getting things down has been difficult. Just wondering if I'm behind or right where I should be, given the circumstances?!

I am 8 days post op and am going through the same thing. Only thing I have found that is remotely helpful is buying regular Soup and straining everything out of it. Beef pot roast and fajita chicken are my favorites. It's really hard and I've had some breakdowns but gotta just keep on pushing. I bought some sugar free hard candies to chew. Still have 6 more days of clears but I've found cooking things I can have next and freezing them is helping. Keeps me looking towards the next step.

Sooo, it's ok to blend up Soup in my ninja until it a broth or like gravy? I don't like my home soup that I made so I went to a quick check which is like a 7-eleven, and I put it in the ninja til it was broth or gravyish and enjoyed it. is that cool?

Sorry, I'm on day 9

Depends what kind of Soup. I just take chunky soup and put it in my strainer I would use for noodles and use the broth or sauce. I don't mix in any of the veggies or noodles or rice. They can swell up in your belly.

OMG!!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!! I'm 8 days in. The broth is making me nauseous. I had to start making my own broth & even that's not working. I've started apple sauce & yogurt but im tired of sweet things. What to do?

honestly I called and told them I couldn't do this anymore and they gave me an earlier appointment for the surgeon so he can advance me but I tried mashed potatoes with scramble eggs and I felt like I was in heaven

Hang in there! This is prime losing time. Go for broth or non chunky soaps with a bit of unflavored Protein Powder. Months from now this period will feel like a distance memory.

thanks i can't stand broth anymore !

Are you on soft foods/mushies? It doesn't have to be applesauce.... Thinned out refried Beans were amazeballs at that stage. Better with a little grated sharp cheddar!

Clear Liquids until Tuesday

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
