One week post op tomorrow and



Recommended Posts

My surgeon/Dr saw me today for a check up since his surgery days are Wednesday's

He has advanced me to puréed foods such as puréed ground beef scrambled egg cottage cheese.. I thought that was something you start on week3-4... anyone else advance fast?

I'm nervous about moving this fast..

My Dr has us start purees on day 3. Seems like each one has their own plan. Enjoy!

Yeah a lot of doctors have different plans. It's crazy. I had a two week clear liquid post-op then two week full liquids ( just added the premier shakes) then two weeks pureed, which I'm still not too yet. :) Almost. Then on to adding full foods.

I couldn't imagines doing pureed already at week 1. My stomach barely liked me putting the premier shakes in at week three. Took a few days to get used to. Just do what is comfortable for you. Start with mild soft stuff like scrambled eggs (soft). This is so going to be my first. Take a small bit and wait. See how your stomach feels. If real concerned talk to you doc about it or your nutritionist. We seem to talk to them more than the doc anymore here. He is more concerned about incisions, internal pain and dehydration.

Hope all works out well.

GrInS :)

I started pureed at 2 weeks post op per my doctors plan and did pureed for 2 weeks before adding soft solids for 5 weeks.

If you try it and it is harsh for you its okay to step back.

Mine was no eggs till week 4/5 and puree week 2+ But yes each plan is different.

I'd skip the pureed meats... eggies are good, the ricotta bake is amazing (look up http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/ and search her pureed recipes). The pureed meats were unimaginably horrific for me, texture was a nightmare.

      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.
