Day 6 Post Op

[abean204 17]

I'm a little confused by what to eat when I start pured food on Day 8. My instructions from my Dr. are very short. Just says: Foods that are ok & don't need to be pured - yogurt, oat meal, cottage cheese, baby food, hummus, refried Beans. It tells me to keep drinking 48-64 oz of fluids and my goals are 800-1200 calories and 75 or more grams of Protein. Does that mean you can eat other things too, as long as you blended/pured and tolerate them? Or just stick to the above list. There are so many people doing different things. What has worked for others at this stage? Thanks in advance!

I was confused too so I been sticking to Soups and Beans and eggs and apple sauce . But I put hot sauce in my Beans because I crave hot wings so bad. I also eat wendys chili it's on my list of can eat. The only things I have eaten that is not on the paper given is pickles with no skin or seeds, lemons and then at taco bell I got a chicken quesidia and only ate the inside not the bread part( yes not the best choice but WA son middle of nowhere and only had a few choices to choose from ) .

My surgeon gave me a sample pureed menu that included things like tuna salad so I'm definitely confused on what I can and can't eat. I do have a follow up with them tomorrow (1 week post-op).

One of my friends who went through the same program I did said she lived off of mashed potatoes and hummus during her pureed phase.

Thanks so much! I feel like I'm getting more information from others who had the surgery, than all the classes I took to have surgery. I feel like it should be more cut and dry. But then again, that's what works for me, others might like it not being so regimented.

Mashed potatoes aren't a great choice because they have no Protein and are high carb. It's better to have a high protein food.

You are correct however they are on my list and I wanted some so I had some .

My nurse said I can start purée foods today and I'm at day 7. I'm just confused when to eat and not to and still make sure I get plenty of fluids.

@MyFreshStart. Plans are different in many Programs - even in the same location. I am your neighbor in RI and 2 programs in Providence have very different plans.

Apparently , I was told to move to the next stage at my one week appointment which was actually six days one day shy . But also keep in mind different doctors give different directions .
