8 week post op eating options



Recommended Posts

Hello I am 8 weeks post op tomorrow, and have been doing relatively well with the eating. I am a salad lover, and am so missing those foods. I am scared to start eating raw veggies and wonder how I should begin this process? I am also dying to have some oatmeal but am hesitant. Any suggestions are welcome.

oatmeal was something I was told to wait a while for, because it can get stuck. You also have to be really careful with the sugar content. As for salad, I was cleared to eat it within three months but my nut advised against it. Basically she advised against any food or drink that isn't Protein or Water. I was told to be especially wary of fibrous fruits and veggies, and the skins and seeds of fruits and veggies. I had my first banana around 3 months and could only eat about a quarter of it, and it made me so full and sat so strangely in my stomach that I couldn't get the Protein and Water that I needed that day.

I guess what I'm saying is be really, really careful. I know it's frustrating to be stuck eating the same things but this won't last forever and you need to make sure you have room for your 60+ grams of protein and 64 ounces of water. Gotta give your body what it desperately needs to heal and keep itself running during this huge biological shift.

Did your nut give you a list of fruits and veggies that you can eat?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
