What can't be pureed? I was told to keep all meals less than 10g sugar and less than 10g fat. But what can we not puree? Can a soft roast and potatoes be pureed? Can we puree lettuce and tomato along with a Mexican type salad concoction? Does salsa have to be pureed or can we have it non pureed?

I'm 11 days post op and I have a white stitch poking out of my incision more than an inch long. Is this normal? It's the incision where they hold the liver out of the way

Same here. It just stopped after 2 days.

Was hoping to find out when everyone's doctor allowed you to start the puree diet? Mine is 2 weeks post op. Why are there variations for different doctors? Thank you

Didn't know we could have that. Makes sense though eh

Please. I have constant diarrhea for past 2 days. 8 days post op. How to stop this. Already left messages with my doctor team.

I was always told you will know when you have a leak. You will feel horrible, have a high fever, very nauseous, rapid heart rate, can't tolerate eating anything

Lol. Yes have them now 1 week post op

When did ur doc clear you for sexual activity

When is it OK to try pizza? Or at least the pizza toppings

Great topic. I've read where people can eat a whole bag of potato chips. Also seen several who can eat 2 pieces of pizza

Beach girl needs a chill pill. Big time.

I would say Holy smokes yes. It's fine. You still in full liquids. Just sip sip sip and have a Couple protein shakes or isopures. Don't worry about the meals yet. You are eating less than 300 calories

Home from surgery. Are we supposed to keep wearing the Compression socks. I don't recall my doctor saying anything about it and I forgot to ask

How long before you could move somewhat normally. Getting in and out of bed etc

Yes on IV. But they want you to drink 1 ounce of fluid every 15 minutes all day before they will release you to go home.

Thank you so much for the help. I'm an idiot I guess. How do you sip without taking air in? Is there a way you could explain. Do gas x or mylicon drops work? They are sending mylicon drops up

I can't even drink these 1 ounce waters without getting gas pain and nausea. I couldn't handle diladid it made me nauseous too

Oh yes. It's my 2nd night here. And just miserable

The pain is bad. I'll get rid of gas pains and then new ones come. What causes the new ones. Also a couple surgery holes kill and my stomach is extremely sore. Can't lay down comfortably. Very hard to get liquids down..

Yes. She's exactly right. My BMI is 50.3 and no 6 months of dieting required. And blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan doesn't do preapprovals. They simply pay.

Me neither. But I'm at the required weight loss for the preop and still have several days to go. What's wrong with subbing cheese for a protein shake

Day 3-6 are the absolute hardest. Then it gets pretty easy and no longer are just dying for your favorite food. I don't think having a pickle, or peppers is bad. Even some cheese. Instead of a 3rd shake
