Will the heartburn ever go away

[Katiebal_Lecter 28]

I’m 4 days post-op (lap band conversion to GB) and my doctor had me on purées before I left the hospital. Many surgeons have different requirements, so just listen to your surgeon AND your body, your body might be telling you it’s not ready to progress to the next phase.

Don't feel bad at all. I never ever have reached the "ideal eating plan" my doctor prescribes and especially not 3 days post op. I snapped at my dietician who said I needed to eat faster and more. I told her I'm going to eat until my stomach is full and follow my 30-30-30. I tried it her way once and I got extremely sick because my stomach isn't there yet. Everyone heals at their own pace. And it's the hardest and most frustrating thing to essentially learn how to eat again. Do the best you can with the Protein and keep hydrated. Maybe keep mushy foods on the back burner until you're further out. My doctor has his patients on full liquid/puree day 3-20 but I just had Protein Shakes and chicken broth. I think I was able to handle a very runny puree around 2 weeks post op. Hang in there.
