I need HELP PLEASE ASAP



Recommended Posts

Hello there, I had my surgery on March 31st, I was on clear liquid for 4 days, then on full liquid and then I am suposed to move on to blenderized food which I thought was yesterday. However, I went to my sisters house last night and they had chicken on the bbq. with mashed potatoes. I put the chicken in the blender and blended it up with honey Teriyakito make it smooth. I had 1 oz of the chicken and 1 oz of the mashed potato. I was full after eating just that.I came home and read in the hand out that my doctor had given me that I wasn't suposed to start the blenderized until MONDAY! I started it 2 days before I was suposed to and now I am worried. Should I be? I tried to get in touch with my doctor, but they aren't in the office today. I don't know what to do...can someone help me please?:biggrin:

I was banded 4/2 and last night had halibut and medium cooked asparagas with a little bit of hollaindaise (sp?) for dinner. My doc requires post-op 1 week liquids/soups and then 1 weeks "anything you can smash with a fork"- though a few items are still a no no. Ive read that post-op diets vary from doc to doc and some are extremely stringent- and some lax. As long as youre not getting things lodged in there I think youre far enough past surgery to start easing into normal foods. I had soft chicken in my chili yesterday- I just chewed it thoroughly.

Every center has different guidelines. I was in the hospital for 3 days after my band and they brought me custard, ice cream, cream of wheat and jell-o the night after surgery! You simply need to let the swelling go down, if it wasn't down you would have not been able to swallow the food. Relax, don't be so literal, your body will tell you if it is ok or not.

agreed with the poster above - as long as you feel ok, i wouldn't worry. it's all about how you are feeling - and it's a great thing that you were good and blended it. :biggrin:

You won't stretch the pouch with one blended meal. The reason you are to be on liquids and then mushies before regular food is to give yourself time to heal. One blended meal a couple of days before they are allowed is not going to hurt you at all. Just be good between now and Monday and you'll be fine.

How do you strech the pouch? I think that its cute that we have the same weight tracker and both are followers of christ! Thank you for your advice! I see that you are doing so well, thats great! Can you tell me your ups and downs?

My doctor told me that mushies are so the stomach doesn't have to work so hard to break down food, not so that it can be swallowed with ease. Please get back on track until your instructions state you can change phases.

I agree... U did not follow it that 1 day but now get back to what yr Dr. told u and on Monday start the mushies. They wouldn't have told u to wait unless it was a reason. I'm sure it wont hurt u but u just don't want to stop or slow your progress dwn in any way. How did the blended chicken taste... I think I would rather have a protien drink i couldn't imagine drinking chicken...:biggrin:..

      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.
