Question about amount of food



Recommended Posts

My doc's orders say liquid diet for 2 wks; with clear lq 1-3 days advance as tolerated. I was banded on 1/26/09 and still in first wk; I tried creamed Soup on the third day and it did not sit well. It went down ok but afterwards o-boy what discomfort. So 2day I have not tried any food yet I will eat my Protein Jello and maybe a Protein Shake later but no food until after the 2wks. I will trie more soup this weekend. I don't know how some of you can eat sooo soon after surgerg. I also had a hiatal hernia repaair which may contribe to my intolerance to the soup. I have't been hungry yet, well 2ay I am a little hungry but afraid 2 try the jello yet. becareful with the food; eat slowly; chew well, and eat only what you can tolerate.

good luck all:thumbup:

I was banded on Jan 16, 2009 and I am currently on soft foods. I am only allowed 1/4 cup of food 3 times a day. It was the same for liquids and I will only be allowed 1/4 cup of food per day when I go on maintenance. I have lost 35lbs so far.

      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.
