KristenLe 5,979 Posted August 11, 2016 @@Ruby81 Try posting in the post op forum - you may get more replies. Also - if you're in the UK - things seem to be very different with post-op diets. Many of us here in the States aren't "allowed" fruit. Our diets focus a lot on Protein and I believe that's not the case there. There's also a UK forum. Congrats on your surgery!

Qwalla 132 Posted August 11, 2016 I personally cannot have any fruit till the mushy stage (3 weeks for me) and no fruit juice. It is limited to about 2 bites. Each nut. And doc have their own program so hopefully they can help you. I know I can message my nut. Whenever I want. Sorry I am not much help. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KristenLe 5,979 Posted August 11, 2016 Yes - Protein Shakes are Meal Replacement shakes on the idea of slimfast. You need to make sure low sugar (or no sugar) and high Protein. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Qwalla 132 Posted August 12, 2016 I have a whole folder of various things. I went to required numerous classes also. I have a page of example mesls for the stage of diet that I am on. Such as full liquid...mushy...then somewhat regular diet with restrictions. I cant have grains, Pasta, bread until i have lost 75% of my projected weight loss. Not many gray areas with my doctor. I like how it is layed out and leaves me few questions. They are very helpful to their patients. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qwalla 132 Posted August 12, 2016 Yes i do have post op meal plan. Pretty much 4 times a day 4 ounces of Protein drink mixed with skim or 1% milk. 2 broth or sodium 4 oz daily. Must get 64 ounces of liquid in each day. I can have pureed chilli or bean or pea Soup for the sodium. I do thid for 3 weeks. Then on to mushy getting in my required Protein daily for 3 weeks. I have charts marking off all those things that need returned to the doctor for the 6 weeks. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On my program I was on Clear liquids for 2.5 weeks after my surgery. No fruit juices and had to even dilute sugar free non-carbonated beverages. My surgical team said it was to allow my stomach to heal. But different surgeons have different instructions so check with your team.

JJCool 104 Posted August 12, 2016 Hi Ruby, I am in the UK and had my surgery recently on the NHS. I posted some scans of my food stages on a previous thread which you can see here http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/372970-sleeve-soon/page-2 However it's important to remember that you need to follow the plan that you would have been given as you might have different requirements to anyone else. Did your bariatric team give you a booklet like this? Jo x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted August 12, 2016 I choose not to drink my calories unless it's a Protein drink. fruit is ok later on, but whole fruit, not juice, so you get the benefits of the Fiber, too. Strawberries were out for me for 6 months. Those little seeds can work their way into your staple line and cause issues. Talk to your doctor, I'm only telling you of MY experience.
