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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
