What are you eating 3wk postop?



Recommended Posts

Do you guys add anything to a few of those? Like mild sauce for Beans? Sugar/Brown Sugar/Stevia for Cream of Wheat?


The mild sauce may be too much the first few weeks. You don't want to take a chance upsetting the sleeve. Think bland and soothing!

Sugar is a gateway drug (for me anyway). Might want to stick with stevia.

I'm 3 weeks post sleeve also! Is any one besides me not having a bowel movement everyday? I know we are not eating Fiber or carbs so I wonder if it's normal not to have a BM every day?

Did you go every day before surgery? My cycle before surgery was every three days. It took me 7 days after surgery to have a BM. I also took a stool softner daily for three weeks. Every since the first BM I have been going every 3-4 days. I now take a stool softner every other day. My surgeon told me that not to worry about BM the first 2 wks unless I was experiencing pain.

I'm thinking poops like a baseball bat with that much fiber.

Actually I just reread my original answer 3 tbls not 6. I feel dumb.

Nah, not dumb. But would have likely been tearing through the stuff having that much a day, dramatically reducing the amount of servings per container. If it's anything like Beneprotein it's not cheap.

That's what I'm thinking, but had to ask the silly questions rather than learn the hard way (I seem to have a thing for the latter method). Reminds me of my old dust-up with NAIR that my wife laughs at every time she hears.

Breakfast is eggs with cheese or high Protein oatmeal. lunch is Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or refried Beans with cheese, and dinner usually chicken and maybe mashed potatoes. I have been drinking fairline chocolate milk which has 13 grams of protein. I also have string cheese for a snack 8 g of protein. I have not had any Protein Drinks. I can't tolerate those. I am getting in at least 75 g of protein a day eating this way. I have been taking all of my Vitamins and I have lost 25 pounds in four weeks. I have BM every other day now

I'm five days post op and will be able to eat puréed/soft foods at two week mark. Sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, Redford Beans, mild cheese, and hopefully slim fast Meal Replacements will b okay. I currently have the whey Protein and it makes me legit almost vomit, literally living off of abt 20g of protein a day from yogurt. I have no apetite and have to remind myself to sip on the nasty rote in rink or have a spoonful of yogurt or a few sips of broth.

5 days out and you can eat yogurt? I had my surgery 3/8 and I'm dying from liquids, just waiting to get the chance to eat yogurt. I have 3 days left of full liquids until I can move to puree/soft foods. I bought some whey protein today to try and get more protein in because I have been getting tired of premier protein....I bought cinnamon swirl whey powder and mixed it with unsweetened almond vanilla milk....it was okkkkk only I remember why I hate protein powders because it's dang near impossible to get all the powder mixed.... I think everyone's plan is different but I aim to get 90g protein in daily.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
