Is any one else on a three week post-op



Recommended Posts

My Dr. told me I have to do liquids for three weeks.which included yogurt and cream Soups.< /p>

I have notice that some of you are able to go to mushies sooner.I was just wondering if I was alone cause I may need a little support. I just want some tuna:crying:

i know how you feel to a degree. My pre surgery diet was Optifast 3 times a day,2 litres of Water and some greens for Fiber. This was for 6 weeks and 4 days prior to surgery, it was suppose to be 8 weeks. Whether this makes a difference for after surgery I cannot tell you but I was able to have anything that was a smooth consistency for the first 14 days and then I could have scrambled or soft poached eggs for instance. I was also able to introduce mashed veggies.I think by reading what others have said that all doctors have a different method and I would ring my doctor just to ask if there are some exceptions.

Hang in there! All docs seem to have different post op diets; I've read of some where the patient is on liquids for 4 weeks (or more) and NO cream type soups!

It is HARD...no kidding, but stick with it. Your doc knows what works best for his/her patients, and you are almost through it now. You'll make it!

      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.
