You all, I had surgery a week ago- and it was really rough at first. Still trying to figure everything and my new stomach out. What does everyone’s post op diet look like? I am on the puréed stage day after surgery. Which is still a little weird Bc apparently you can put anything in the blender and purée it and the. Eat it? (Except like tough meat, unhealthy food, ect)
So can you not purée food in your mouth if you chew it like a million times?
Also- what happens if you do eat a solid food? Like what does it do to your stomach?
Need to know why so I don’t do it!!

Hope everyone is healing well and feeling better!

Lucky you. I just realized I still have another week of liquids. Excited about all the things I plan to make for the purée stage. If you eat something solid you could potentially cut open your incision where your stomach was stapled back together. Which could cause complications.

I have a question. I had the bypass surgery on 7/26/18. I have been so tired almost everyday since my surgery. I do not wake up tired but usually after I have been up for 5-6 hours I get really grouchy and tired. My hubby thinks I’m just “Hangry” since I can’t eat whatever I want. Maybe that’s part of it too but I do find myself tired a lot.

      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.
