What can I eat at 2 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

Hey guys I'm 8 days post op and I am on a full liquid diet , I drink chicken broth but I do need hot sauce and I know I can't gave that. There is about one Soup I like and it's a tomatoe soup but and I pretty much don't eat just drink Water or Pedialyte. My 2 week appointment is on aug 15 and I'm in need of some good ideas for food options.

Seems as though you could have a bit more variety: sugar-free Jello, sugar-free popsicles, Protein Shakes. sugar-free pudding, sugar-free yogurt, decaffeinated tea . . .

I tried sugar free pudding and I didn't like it and the pops I tried them when I first came home didn't like it but I'm willing to give it another try and the tea I liked at the hospital so I never thought about trying it once I went home. Thanks such a eye opener

North Star has the best sugar free popsicles ! They aren't icy. Not sure how else to explain them

If you're having trouble getting in your Protein since you said you aren't eating much I found a great protein Water at Target that I used when I was immediately post op. It's made by Trusource and has 20g of protein in a bottle. Kind of tasted like a melted popsicle to me. Tastes much better cold!

I'll try the Protein Water I'm up for anything but I'm on puréed foods and I don't seem to be to fond of anything besides chilli

      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.

      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.
