2 wks post, soft food help!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, just joined and Friday I will be 2 wks post op.

2 things;

1-theguidelines I was given just said soft foods like eggs and soft Pasta. I am at a loss for other good foods that are soft. No meat for another month on his program.

2- I lost 8-10lbs the first 4-5 days and have been flat for the past 10. I read something about the 3 week plateau. But a 1 week. I am starting to walk but I have had some extra abb pain beneath one of the incision sites, so I am limited to 15-20 min slow walk on the treadmill.

Any advice would be amazing!

TIA

Cottage cheese, yogurt, Beans, tofu, homemade Soups, split pea Soup. I'm two and a half weeks out, I eat rotisserie chicken in broth and soup cut up really fine. Plans differ so wildly...

Just make sure you're eating enough calories, and getting your Protein and fluid goals. All is well:) Be patient.

I'm gonna have finely chopped up turkey, mashed taters and gravy at Christmas. I do a lot of smoothies and put some leafy greens and fruit in there (watch the sugar and calories)

      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.
