One week post op and tired of liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Are you only on Clear liquids or can you do full liquids? I only had clear for 3 days and then moved to full liquids so I had Protein shakes and was allowed blended sounds with no particles. I was so happy when my surgeon cleared me to soft foods

If you are on full liquids, you might be allowed strained cream Soups. I loved it once I got to that phase because I could have some variety finally. I went and bought every single type of cream Soup my grocery store had on the shelves and made a different one each meal. Didn't even care that I was wasting like 3/4 of a can of soup every time. I just loved being able to have some variety.

I'm now on day 8 and agree with you about the early diet. However, I'm now on full liquid and have eaten great cream Soups (had red lentil last night and it was amazing). I buy the organic ones in the pourable containers and they last a few days. Went to our beach club on Saturday and had vichyssoise which was delicious. I have also had thinned cream of wheat and thinned mashed potatoes which were great. I might have been a little early on that but it went down fine. I also have Greek yogurt with a touch of honey and cinnamon. I hate the Protein Shakes but Unjury is fine and Ensure high Protein is good (vanilla is delicious) and my NUT said it was fine. pudding too but getting burned out on that and Jello. Moving to soft foods on Thursday and can't wait. Wishing you the best.

Im almost out of my ten day post op clear liquid diet. I also drink tea and fruit infusions. For example i boil strawberries with cinnamon and sweeten it with stevia. Another thing that works for me is changing temperatures, things taste quiet different if hot or cold.

Uhhh - I have no advise for you. I just wanted to empathize with you. The liquid phase was the WORSE for me. By the end of the week - I was ready to stab someone (not literally, of course) LOL

Hang in there - it passes soon.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
