Why shouldn't eat solid food till 6weeks

[Janarthan.k 0]

HI all, Jana from Sri lanka I did my mini gastric bypass surgery on last Monday which is 9days ago, my weight was 150kg and after 9days it's 137kg which I'm happy about it, my doctor adviced me to take only liquid for 2weeks and blended Soup for next 4weeks, but I cannot tied my mouth then and there I'm eating small piece of chicken! Is it bad? I didn't get any difference on my bowel moment. Can anyone advice me on this?

TIA

I would recommend you follow your doctor's orders. I had RNY gastric bypass whereas you had the mini gastric bypass. After surgery my stomach was in a major heal mode for the first couple months. Even after a couple months I found it very difficult to consume hard foods such as steak and chicken. So since you had surgery 9 days ago, I really recommend you give your stomach a little time to heal properly.

My dr said 2 weeks solid food like fish eggs. No chicken or red meat until 3-6 months

But I eat normal food once a day, which includes fish or chicken.< br>

Surgeons have different programs, and you should follow your surgeons program.

I have been eating food since day 4 (with restrictions), as per my surgeons program, but that doesn't mean it's okay for everyone if their surgeon has a different program.
