Post-Op Stage 1 diet



Recommended Posts

My surgeon had me start on full liquids when I got home from the hospital yesterday. The list he gave me included grits, cream of wheat and mashed potatoes thinned.

I keep picturing those tiny grit pieces getting stuck on my staple line.

Is this a typical stage one diet or is it usually Clear Liquids only? I'm only 3 days post-op and am nervous about eating anything except broth, yogurt and Water.

What about sugar-free Jello, sugar-free popsicles, herbal tea? You could try whatever's on the approved list, but stick with what makes you comfortable and goes down all right as long as you are meeting your Water and Protein goals . . .. And, of course, Protein Shakes or protein water.

Good luck!

I'm on full liquids (well graduated to puréed at week one which I'm not crazy about) but my surgeon said no carbs.. :-/ I see you have chicken noodle or rice blenderized strained on your list..so tempting..

You should be doing liquids only for the first 2 weeks post op. Then adding pureed foods. Keep in mind that you need 64 oz of Water daily along with 60 to 80 grams of Protein.

Hi! I am confused about something. What if I am drinking protein water? I still have to drink 64 oz. of plain water on top of that? My surgery is this Thursday, so I am a bit shakey.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
