VSG Post-Op Food - 3 Weeks Out



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I wanted to check in with some of you veterans that have had VSG and ask for your help with food suggestions during the 6 week post-op phase. I am currently 3 weeks out form surgery and am following the diet recommendations from my doctor but there is no mention of any scrambled eggs in the first 6 weeks. Scrambled eggs have always been one of my Protein staples that I tolerate very well. I really don't enjoy the sweet taste of most of the Protein Shakes and want to get on to eating "real" food sources for protein as soon as possible.

Do any of you have suggestions for good protein sources that come from real food that can be eaten between week 3-6?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

I'm in my 3rd week post op as well. My phase III meal plan consist of the following Protein choices:
Scramble eggs, egg beaters, egg whites, cottage cheese, low fat cheese, tuna, chicken, salmon, scallops, crab, shrimp, tilapia. ( 2 to 3 oz only).
Good luck to you on this new and excited journey.

I was instructed to do one week clears, 2 week full liquids, before progressing to puree, where scrambled eggs are ok. Funny how so many have different post op diets.

I have noticed there are very different diets restrictions too. I think I will try one scrambled egg to see if I have any issues. I am sticking to my diet closely but know i need to find some acceptable ways to get more Protein. Thank you both for your feedback and good luck!

i did decide to have one scrambled egg for the last two mornings and everything went down well. The Protein seemed to stick with me until lunch. This new way of eating is taking some getting used to but I am still so happy I did the surgery!

      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.
