Moved up a stage early by Doc. Question



Recommended Posts

I just thought if something. I was moved up to the puree stage early by my doc and Nut. They moved me to pureed food on a Friday and I wasn't scheduled to move up until the following Wednesday.

Does that mean my new move up day for each stage is now Fridays or still Wednesday?

Meaning should I continue moving up on my original scheduled day or is my whole plan moved up and I could have moved on to soft food as of yesterday (Friday which would have been a week on puree)

Doc and Nut not in on weekends or I would have of course called them :-)

I had the same situation. My moving up day changed too. Just because you had one stage shortened, don't shorten the next stage. Good luck!

I was to be on clear and Protein shakes for 2 weeks, but my nut moved me to yogurt and cottage cheese day 10 and soft/mushie day 11. I plan to consult with her at six weeks, although next phase is 8 weeks

Best to ask your doctor/nut.

I had to see my nut at every food stage change. For me it was every 2 weeks.

It may also depend how well/not well you tolerate each stage.

Listen to your body and observe how you are doing, any extra noises, any reflux or indigestion, what really agrees with you, are you hungry, etc

Then you can discuss it with your nut.

Good luck.

I certainly wouldn't know and could not give you medical advice.

It is a bummer you can't reach your doctor/nut over the weekend.

If it was me, I would wait until Monday and call them. The healing stomach needs lots of TLC and being careful with it.

As I had personally few issues at every food stage change, I err on the side of caution.

Good luck.

      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.
