I had spinach, cheese, tomatoes and mushrooms and peppers in it. I think I took big bites and ate it too fast. I got down less than half and the pain just became excruciating. I'll try eggs again in a couple weeks or maybe a couple months. That pain sucked!
How many ounces was everything ?
It's best to try things like that on it's own see how you get on then add other items. To see how your stomach reacts. I'm 7 months post and can't eat a whole egg with all of what you mentioned. Though I'm also a short female. So you as a man would have more space

My surgeons plan doesn’t even allow solid foods until 3 months out. These posts give me hope because we have 1 week of clear, 3 weeks of liquid, 2 weeks of puréed and 3 weeks of soft. I need to ask about it because every other plan I see moves along faster, as tolerated.

I am sure the puréed and soft stage is much better than the liquid. I will be ready for an egg by then, and I’m not even a big fan of eggs! LoL

I have learned everyone’s doc is different Cuz mine said Clear Liquids the first 2 days after surgery then I can switch to just liquids and could have cream soups... it’s a bit confusing but I’m trying to just go with the flow of things I had my surgery on the 30th and I’m having a hard time with the Protein

I tried the Jello in the hospital. Didn't bro well with it so I stopped trying. No shoulder pain. Just in my chest. Dont know if I'm doing to myself when I drink but I get it when I'm not drinking so idk. Ill have to ask my Dr. I really like my tea and Protein Shakes. I ordered some awesome ones from this site.

Mine is 2 weeks of liquids getting in 60grams of Protein Shakes per day, that 2 pre made Premier Protein and 64oz of Water. Then at 2 weeks we can have soft Proteins but supposed to have 2 shakes and one soft meal. I started soft Protein on day 5 I couldn’t wait. I’ve been trying different things here and there with no problems so far.

My doc had my on 2 days of clear liquids then the “full liquids “ for 10 days .. I liked being able to get back to my Protein Drinks (I’m allergic to dairy so I’m using the one I’ve used for years) then after that the puréed stage for 2 weeks then “ soft chopped moist foods” for 3 weeks the back to regular food... March 19th lol they have it all planned for us. They say that if we don’t do well on the next step to go back a step and slowly add something from the next step.

I like using the boxed butternut squash Soup with a scoop of my Protein Powder mixed in.. I also put my crushed pill/supplements in it. Works well.

i see my doc on Monday as I need to go back to work Tuesday and need his ok. Several people that work in the program said they were able to go back that soon but use lunch time as a nap lol

we did this!!! Woohoo 🎉

      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.
