Is this normal for the first 6weeks?



Recommended Posts

Saw the dietician today and this is what they gave me for post op diet: just wanted to see if this is what you all are doing

Clear and Full liquids for two weeks: including strained broth, low fat cream Soups, cream of wheat, skim milk, light yogurt, diluted juice, Tomato juice, popsicles, crrystal light, Jello, pudding, carnation instant Breakfast, Protein Shakes

THEN: Pureed/Very soft foods for two weeks

THEN : Soft foods, for two weeks,

I guess then that would put me at six weeks and on to regular food, but she said to add food one thing at a time so that if something doesn't sit well, I'll know what it might be.

How does this all sound normal?

I feel like I'm going to be a grouch for the 6 weeks!

Oh and also! This she said is really important:

HAVE ONLY 1 CUP TOTAL FOOD PER MEAL 3 TIMES A DAY,

For instance:

1 large scrambled egg

1/4 hot Cereal

1/4 sugar free yogurt

1/4 light canned fruit===all equals a cup

I feel like I'm going to be starving! Did any of you find this?

My post op was very similar. You'll manage, each week you get to move to a new phase and that helps.

I was on a similar diet. When I went in for my two week check up the doctor told me that I could resume my regular eating at three weeks. He won't give me my first fill for six weeks. I did NOT resume my regular eating (I wish he would not have told me that). I am on fish, tuna, cottage cheese, Soups etc. I am not bored with the food and I WANT to lose weight while I am waiting for my first fill.

      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.
