Three weeks Post op VGS what can we eat?



Recommended Posts

You should have gotten a detailed plan from your surgeon that tells you how to progress through the various phases (liquid, puree, soft, etc.) with examples of foods/meals for each stage. If you can tell us what stage you are in according to your plan and what other foods your plan allows, we can give some suggestions But because each plan is different, the prevailing advice will be to follow your plan and contact your surgeon's office if you need help.

Even "phases" are an individual surgeon and nutritionist thing. You would think they would have come up with a consistent plan for post-ops, but no such luck. Nutritional programs are like religions, surgeons & nutritionists have their beliefs that they will go to their graves to defend. They are as important as life and death and every other plan is wrong. Your surgeons' plan is the path to success, everything else will lead to failure. Get a couple drinks in your nutritionist and they may admit the ultimate truth: that it is consistency in a healthy plan that is the key to everlasting... err... maintenance.

Since you mentioned shakes, broth, Jello, pudding, and scrambled egg I should think anything with similar consistencies would be OK. Perhaps mashed potatoes, yogurt. I think you could probably get away with pureed just about anything Protein or veggie. Basically, anything similar to what you are doing now. Likewise if your surgeon mentioned any goals or types of food for this period you could do things that would also meet those goals.

Good luck,

Tek

Every surgeon has different recommendations. When I was in pureed phase my options were much more limited than a lot of others on here. Even bariatric pureed recipe books I couldn’t follow. It’s important to follow your surgeons recommendations. You can reach out to your dietitian who should be able to give you some ideas.

This is a question for your surgical team; everyone's plan is different

Once I hit the pureed phase I just pureed whatever my family was eating with extra sauce/gravy! I have said it here many times but the best thing I have ever tasted in my life was a big roast lamb Sunday dinner (couple of spoons of everything, pureed with gravy). A-MAZ-ING after 3 weeks of just fluids. I don't have a problem with baby food consistency though and I know that could be an issue for some folks. I'm sorry you haven't been given many ideas - if you have a blender and can eat mush the sky is the limit.

      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.
