Post Op Diet Hell



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 9/25 and this post op diet is killing me. I was so excited to get to stage 3 pureed foods, then come to find out that they want a week of bland foods first, Then advanced pureed.

I have no complications but they changed there rules in August. Ugh.

I can't stomach muscle milk anymore and Soup is getting old. I need meat.< /p>

Any ideas how to dress up ricotta and why is cottage cheese so salty? Anyway just needed to vent, as I am starting to lose my mind.

sugar free pudding mix, sugar free Jello, Torani sugar free syrups, flavored Protein Powder all dress up ricotta cheese in a sweet way. Pasta Sauce, seasoning packets (taco, chili, beef stew, etc) dress it up in a savory way.

Trader Joe has unsalted cottage cheese. Or put a bit of pepper in it to lessen the salt.

During the first 2 months postop, the days just dragggeeedddd.. by Thursday I started reading the page for the next week's diet that would start on Monday. I didn't jump ahead, but it all just seemed to take forever!

But, time passed, and by time I had enjoyed the regular diet for a week or two, it already seemed like ancient history.

Use this time to learn as much as you can about postop nutrition so you can go forward in health and skinny-ness.

Vitamins are a special topic that is underappreciated until a deficiency shows up. Sleeves and bypasses both need 'em.

9/25 was my same surgery date. I added canned chicken to cream Soups. Some other things I'm eating now:

tuna salad, egg salad, mashed avocado on liquid egg whites, vegetarian refried Beans, cream of wheat with skim milk and Protein power, sugar free Jello with protein powder, chicken salad (canned not just cooked), I've blended vegetable beef Soup, mashed sweet potato, cottage cheese, pureed baked eggplant with marinara.

That was the pre August plan with my Surgeon that I was looking forward too. Now it is just light yogurt, refried beans, ricotta cheese, and cottage cheese

      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.
