My body can’t take another pudding, purée, fake Protein Premier shake, popsicles, Jello anymore man. Starting tomorrow I’m starting my soft foods 2 days early. Crap is not even healthy and I feel like I’m just welting away. I need eggs, fish, cheese, fruit, veggies with some type of substance. I feel so weak and I just threw up for the first time since surgery on mar 27th. I will let me doctor know but I have to move on to something different tomorrow.

Everyone should listen to their surgeon's plan, You trusted your surgeon to operate on you, you should trust their process. But if you really feel like you must advance your diet be sure to proceed with caution: go slow and if you feel any pain stop immediately and call your surgeon. Good luck.

Trusting the surgeon is not the issue dear. My body is sick of the crap I’ve been eating and taken in the past 3 weeks and 2 days early is not an issue. I haven’t had eggs so I’m going to try eggs

Good luck. eggs gave me trouble early on and I had to start out with them pretty runny. Keep 'em soft like Avery's Mom advised as well.

That is what I will do and I will start tomorrow. Runny and something different and take it slow.

Just take it slow as you introduce real solid food into the mix. There are still some foods I can't eat now 4 months post-op (soft tortillas, bread, steak, roast beef) because my body isn't ready for them.

The only thing I’m adding is eggs which will be tomorrow just one day prior to switching to soft foods. That’s the only thing I’m going to do so hopefully this works for me

I can absolutely relate! I had my first ricotta bake last night just because I had to have something with substance, not just liquid or slimy yogurt. It still amazes me that it can take me 45 minutes to an hour to finish something the size of a half baked muffin. Just the act of chewing something was great. I’m not advocating not following your Doc’s plan, but I do agree that 24 hours may not make a huge difference as long as it is something from the next phase.

I'm going to be completely honest. 3 days after I was home from surgery i was eating eggs, ground beef, sausage, and chicken. Now i could only have 3 bites or so before i was full, i couldn't come close to eating an ounce of anything. You have lasted way longer than i have with pudding and what not. What the Dr. worries about is that food can get stuck in the new staples in your stomach and could cause problems. I was lucky that didn't happen and probably stupid for eating so quickly but i was supposed to be on a liquid diet after surgery. I wouldn't suggest doing what I did but i had zero problems.

It hasn't even been 2 weeks since your surgery. Just sayin'! The surgeons have this plan for a reason. I had bypass the same day and am still on clear liquids! I know all surgeons are different. Enjoy your soft foods! I dont get them for another 2 weeks!!

What do you mean I had surgery March 27th and my diet plans per the doctor are weeks at a time. I start soft foods on Wednesday what are you talking about. I’ve been on liquids prior to surgery and right after. I am following the schedule and I am only adding scrambled eggs to my plan so please explain what you mean?

      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.
