8 days post op and so over this full liquid stage! I want real food!



Recommended Posts

I am 8 days post op and cannot eat anything, I am so over the full liquid stage, everything I can eat makes want to gag! I hate sugar free stuff, and the cream Soup and broths are not cutting it for me. I am regretting this decision :(

I had my sleeve 27th July.

Fully understand how you feel.

Try to think positive why did you want the procedure to lose weight and back gain control. I have to remind myself everyday.

The reality is that It's so hard to adjust and so dammed frustrating. Dealing with hunger wind and nausea.

Suck mints for the wind and nausea.

Don't eat diet foods you are eating so little your body needs the extra nourishment. Diet foods have added chemicals which can upset your stomach.

Don't wait for mealtimes, try snacking regularly. This will help keep your stomach busy and stop it filling with salvia and wind.

And eat very very slowly.

Eat high Protein foods.

Don't forget your Protein drinks like slim fast.

Things to try one weetabix made milky,

Porridge made milky,

Fage total 2% Greek yoghurt is very high in Protein.

Mashed banana

Cream cheese.

Pate

Try a crisp-bread. I managed it. Chew till mush.

You can try these but be careful blend and eat slowly...

Very soft scrambled egg

Cottage cheese

tuna

Salmon

Soft Vegetables

Don't forget to try to build up to 1.700 quarts of Water a day . Dehydration causes sickness and hunger.

Hope this helps xox

I don't think any of us loved the liquids stage but it is part of the healing process. Doctors plans are important to follow to avoid a serious complication. It is a very small part of this life long journey. Please don't advance your diet without talking with your surgeon first.

Me too. I am not a big sweet eater and the artificial sweeteners all leave a bitter taste. One more week and it will be better.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
