I am almost one week post op. I feel really good. I'm allowed to eat things like Jello, yogurt ect. Can I eat couple noodles? They are super soft and their consistency is almost like Jello. Ideas ?


I am 9 days post op and I'm still on Clear Liquids. I go to the Dr tomorrow and hopefully he'll move me to the puree stage. Didn't your surgeon give you a good time line?

Yes. He said after 2 weeks I can have things like refried Beans ect. But I am dying to just have a little something in my mouth other than liquid. It's driving me nuts.




I totally understand, I'm right there with you BUT my advice would be to just hold off until it's time. It will fly by quickly

Hold off on the noodles. They will work your stomach too hard for this time. A couple months of letting your tummy heal will pay dividends!

Even when you get refried Beans, they need to be very runny.

Noodles are very starchy and they are hard for your stomach to process. I would just follow the guidelines they gave you.

Lets Look at them side by side:

SF Jello cup: 10 calories 0g fat 0g carbs

Cup o noodles: 314 calories 14g fat 42g carbs

So even if you could have the noodles, you can clearly see why they would be on the no list. ;)

I'm on pureed, just started. The ricotta bake is like heaven. However, made a scrambled egg, two bites and the most horrible dry heaves! Your sleeve will instantly tell you.





What is this ricotta bake I keep hearing about?

      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.
