Month out and confused



Recommended Posts

I am a few days from a month out, things are going well, I am getting my Water and Protein. My provider has me moving to full diet this week. I have been so conflicted on what to eat and do, so many opinions.

So I have really just started trying things to see what happens, nothing bad of course but I have tried salad and lunchmeats. Spicy things for some flavor. I just don't know if I am doing wrong or not. I have been assuming if I don't dump or have pain, I should be ok. I have vomited once after eating some turkey a bit too fast, otherwise though, I feel good. Is that enough? Is my body going to tell me if I have done wrong?

So AC , by full diet, do you mean the food for life phase ?the very last phase ? a month post op seems really quick , I’m a month post op and still on puréed. I guess if your stomach isn’t complaining and you’re keeping it down, you have to follow what your body tells you . Have you been given follow up info ? Keep us updated and ask ask ask if you’re not sure . Good luck

Yes, your body will tell you when it doesn't like something. I still get the "foamies" 9 months out with bread, doughy things, soft tortillas, and Pasta.

I had the go-ahead at 4weeks to move to my forever diet.

But my instructs were to follow my dietary guide for quantities, measurements, etc and with tips for success and sample meals. Also had the instructs to try only 1 new thing at a time and wait a few days before adding another new thing. To go very slowly. And if something didn't work, then to try it again in a couple of weeks.

      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.
