Switched to pureed too quickly.



Recommended Posts

I was told to be on liquids 4 weeks and puree for 2 weeks but if I transitioned early it wasnt a big deal. I switched 3 weeks and 2 days after surgery. I think it may be causing issues. It feels fine when its happening and after. But in the mornings now I get nauseas taking my pills (crushed in applesauce) and this morning I actually threw them up. I feel awful all the time. Not sure if its related to that or going to work too early. But the nausea started the morning I was supposed to start work.

Could be the new routine? I struggled with my Vitamins for the first few weeks. Used to love my chewables but then came to hate them with a passion after surgery (that and a lot of other favorite flavors tasted horrible). Two weeks is pretty normal to go before getting switched to the pureed stage, so I don't think that's the case. However you will have to use caution as you introduce foods back into your diet. Some things went down fine and I had no issues with. Other foods left me feeling blah and didn't enjoy them.

Might not hurt to try changing the time of day when you take your vitamins and see if that makes a difference.

I still get a little nauseous when I take my supplements, especially if I take the supplements and then pills. It passes quickly, though.

Any supplement with zinc will make you super naseaous if taken on an empty stomach. I always take my Multi Vitamins after meals to avoid it. You could try reverting to liquids a few days and see if that helps. Sometimes you just need a little more time.

      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.
