Trying to find food to eat after surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I just recently had a gastric sleeve on Monday and am on a liquid diet for about 3 more days. Could anyone help me out on what they ate(or drank) that got them a little full but not sick? Any suggestions will help thank you very much!!

I mainly had Protein Shakes and Water. Once in a while I would have a Progreso canned Soup, ground in the blender and with some added broth to make it a liquid.

Things will get more interesting when you get to the puree phase.

Bone Broth can be really tasty and good for you, it offers some Protein. Swanson makes them in little sippy cups you put in the microwave.

Soups. I tried Bone Broth but found the flavour unpalatable (too salty & too strong for me) but the old cup of soups of fine. Some creamy, some not. Strained them first to avoid random chunks or herby bits.

chicken Bone Broth with spices added. I actually drank it as my main Fluid as it has 9 Protein a serving. When I wanted it as a meal I would add GENEPRO protein in. Right now my nutritionist wants me to drink less bone broth and more Water.

Another vote for savoury broths, but watch out because some are very salty. I loved miso ramen broth; phở broth was a little bit too salty for me.

      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.
