What to eat after your surgery because this diet is killing....



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks out of my gastric bypass surgery and I'm just wondering is this diet super hard because I'm having such a hard time with eating the Soups and the cellos and drinking the Water I need sustenance something that's filling you know I mean all the stuff is filling but it's not in my mind my appetite has not lessened but in my stomach it has so I'm trying to equate what I can eat what I can't eat like I know. Foods saw food tube stuff like that but I can't eat anymore cream of whatever please ideas help me.

I'm two weeks 2 days out and was cleared today by my surgeon to start solid foods. I know the feeling...eating Soups and yogurt just wasn't my thing. You should be able to introduce solids to your diet by now.

I didn't start puréed until week 3 and solids until4-5 weeks. Everyone has a different plan. I would stick to the plan your doc/nut gave you.

Most of what you are feeling is called head hunger. A few ways to deal with it are to stay busy, walk, drink plenty of fluids, try different types of puréed foods. Cottage cheese, yogurt, scrambled eggs, creamed Soups ect

It amazes me how different everyone's plan is. I'm three days post op. Clear Liquids until week 2, no Protein Shakes until day 8... purée starts week 5 and normal solids not until week 9!

I'm 12 days post op and my go to food is Fage 0% with peach it satisfies me and fills me, I struggle with savory food but do well with Indian food puréed and starkiss lemon pepper tuna with a tablespoon of guacamole (the pouch is 2.5 oz, 18g of protein) once or twice a week I add 2 tbsp of Nuts and More toffee crunch Peanut Butter to my Protein Shake (1g sugar, 12 G protein) so that with a scoop of my Isopure is 38 g in one shake

Thanks for everyone advice it's really helpful. Haven't tried scrambled eggs or tuna but will do. Just having a hard time with yogurt and Soup, I always thought about Indian food but had a chance to try it pureed

      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.
