When did you get to eat solids?



Recommended Posts

I will get to eat my first solid an egg on Tuesday, 14 days post op. 16 days since I last ate anything solid. I had only 2 days of preop Clear liquids since I haven't eaten anything since Jan 23rd. How about you? When did you have surgery? When do you get to eat solid food again?

I was on full liquids from the day I went home to day 9. At day 9 I got puréed. At 1 month I got soft stage and 2wks later full solids.

I stuck with Protein shakes through the first 4 weeks.

I then transitioned to light flaky fish and chicken.

One of the absolute staples in my diet are the little foil pouches of flavored tuna. They have been outstanding work lunches.

I have three weeks from surgery date on liquids thin enough to pass through a fork (one week in hospital, two at home), then another two weeks on blended/mushy food, then introduce solids

No solids for me until 8 weeks post op, and then they had to be soft enough to cut easily with a fork. Not released to "full" solids etc. until six months post op.

i started the pre op liquids on jan 20th, sleeved the 27th. today i was cleared a day early to start my soft foods. just had my first scrambled egg and it took me 40-45 mins to eat. no problems while i was eating it but now that i am done, i realize i may could have stopped a few bites ago. just going to take some learning on how to tell if i am full or not i suppose!

      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.
