My dr only deals with the actual surgery everything else is handled by his in office nutritionist. I found it weird too but he's been doing it this way for 20 years.

Ok so I couldn't wait anymore and I called yesterday and did a phone consultation with the nutritionist. They have advanced me to puree stage but she says this will be for another 3 weeks and that it has nothing to do with the ulcerative colitis that it's just how the dr likes his patients to advance at and slow pace.

Girl this is week 5 for me ? this is why I am so frustrated I really feel like they aren't advancing me at the right speed. Really hoping Thursday they give me some explanation because I am super scared of complications so I really don't want to experiment without some guidance.

I have ulcerative colitis. I have never been able to drink protein shakes since they diagnosed me. Sorry should have provided that information. So far I have followed everything by the book but I'm just starting to feel like I'm the only one not able to eat a month in.

She says that the dr performs surgery different than other dr which is why his diet is different. Everyone keeps telling me to experiment but I'm so scared to end up in the hospital. I'm really hoping Thursday they give me better information and that I can start feeling better soon.

Ok so I am a little frustrated at the moment. My bypass was on 8/25. On 9/5 my nutritionistchanged my diet from clear liquids to full liquids. I have been on full liquids since and I am dying over here. I can't tolerate any of the protein shakes so she finally is allowing me to have 1% milk and yogurt but I still haven't had any pureed food. I see most of you on here talking about being on puree two weeks out and I'm just wondering what is going on with me. Is my DR just trying to torture me ? I'm craving eggs so bad and she says it will be atleast another month before Eggs are introduced.

I'm 4 weeks post op still on full liquid diet and I am completely rejecting the protein shakes. My dr just said to do Skim milk or Yogurt for now.
