Bibi27 2 Posted October 26, 2020 Hi everyone, my mother had her gastric sleeve surgery on 10/20, I have been helping her through this journey. She doesn’t know much English so I have been the one to communicate and translate with Dr/Nurses.. pretty much everyone for her. Also have been fixing her meals and crushing her meds. Any tips anyone can share would be helpful. I am now getting some pushback from her not wanting to eat certain things or do certain things. Any help would be appreciated 😍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibi27 2 Posted October 26, 2020 I have one question.. during day 8-14 I can add full liquids to her diet.. does this mean I can cook food and purée for my mother, or do I have to stick to a restrictive type of cream Soups? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GivinItMyALL 169 Posted October 26, 2020 You're a gem, helping your mom ❤️ The "full liquid" on the plan my surgeon does is not pureed food, it is stuff like pudding, cream Soups with no bits, Protein Shakes, yogurt, etc. My plan has a "soft foods" stage in between full liquid and pureed, too. I'd ask the surgical team or dietician for the guidelines they recommend, because they all seem to be different. 1 Bibi27 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GivinItMyALL 169 Posted October 26, 2020 I apologize. I just looked through my paperwork, and I don't appear to have a pureed stage. I guess that might go in the "soft foods" stage for mine, because after that, I have "soft/solids". LOL Like I said, every team has a different plan. 1 Bibi27 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibi27 2 Posted October 26, 2020 Thanks so much for responding... I asked only because I seen others mention the purée stage and so it confused me cause I know In the guide we have on week two it includes cream Soups and stuff like pudding. 1 GivinItMyALL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zoomzoom 45 Posted October 27, 2020 Everyone's plan seems to be a little different. Mine was liquid for 2 weeks, and then "no chew." I ate yogurt, cottage cheese, hummus, Protein Shakes and sugar free pudding. I could not stomach the idea of pureed meat!Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibi27 2 Posted October 28, 2020 Does anyone have good options for Protein Powder to mix with Water? I have been buying my mother Premier Protein shakes but they are becoming expensive for the amount of Protein she needs to consume at first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
