As soups go through me



Recommended Posts

I’ve started soft foods 2 weeks post op as liquid agoes straight through me, I was allowed purée foods but imm managing to eat sift vegetable mash and mashed salmon a couple of bites.
Does this harm me doing it so early on?

My surgeon said as long as I chew everything to a purée, it's probably okay, but to avoid things like grilled meats for a while yet. I doubt you're going to harm yourself, other than not yet knowing what your 'full' signal is like and having some pretty gnarly experiences with overfeeding.

Thank you so much for your help.
I appreciate it.
you’ve helped me so much.
I was given 9 days to prepare for this op. It was so rushed and I don’t feel I had time to educate myself properly and there isn’t a good support system here, you don’t get to see someone for 6 weeks about it.
The blood thinning injections for 2 weeks are causing such an itchy stomach now.
And it’s not even around the incisions it’s just where I’ve had to inject my stomach with them.
they finish soon though.

I’m less than 2 weeks out of my op well 2 weeks tomorrow, the scales have gone up a pound is this normal to gain a pound?
Im not sure if I’m hormonal as my periods were all over the place before surgery.
as apparently I’m peri-menopausal
I know with that I’d put around 3-4lbs on until it was finished .
this is disheartening to see.
I’m only 14lbs down since the 11th October, I don’t know but I expected to lose weight quicker.
I'm literately feeling like I know nothing about this process.
😞

Swings of a pound or two are totally normal no matter what. It could be Fluid retention, it could be your body going into the "third-week stall" (which there are like 20,000 posts about, it's NORMAL) a little early, it could be hormonal, it could be Constipation.

Don't freak out. Follow your plan. It will right itself.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
