My doctor did at the hospital. He said if I feel up to it, I could try eating mushy foods.
From reading the blogs and talking to people I realize every doctor treats their patients different.
Im actually going back to liquids on my own . Thanks for the advice

Just had my surgery on 12/15. They told me when I was already there. Plus I wasn’t allowed visitors. The nurses are super sweet and nice. It’s going to be okay. Trust me.
Literally just went through it. Plus you’ll get more attention and look after more. Consider it special care.

My doctors allow yogurt and Jello and sugar free popsicles during my liquid diet phase. See if they’ll do the same for you?

I was eating purees at day 3 as well. However, I was told 2 oz max at that time (the first few days I didn't get in my 2 oz at my "meal" times). I'd check with your surgeon or nutritionist as what you are eating may be fine, you just might need to do less.

depends on the surgeon. They had me eating purees before I even left the hospital.

totally depends on the surgeon. I was eating purees before I even left the hospital.

You're eating soft foods already? That should usually be like 2-3 weeks post-op and you should be on liquids. Try going back to liquids and see if you get heartburn then. I used to have GERD before WLS but now I don't.

let your surgeon know. Many of us are put on a PPI like omeprazole or Protonix for the first 3-6 months post-surgery.

I threw up a lot at the hospital too... honestly thought I was overdosing on morphine, but they kept giving to me regardless of me telling them the pain was manageable. Honestly felt like a drug addict lol, I would wake up from a sleep drooling and then throw up. And then do it all over again. I would suggest you start writing everything down, how much you intake and how you felt after. Maybe after a week or two you will notice a pattern.

I’m on a clear liquid diet for seven days.

I agree it's your H2O. I use EnduroPacks liquid Electrolytes spray in my H2O. I was getting bad leg cramps at night when I was first out of surgery. This knocked them out. It's a small bottle and you put 10 squirts in your Water. Good stuff. You can get it on Amazon.

So Idk who gave you the advice to eat mushy foods 3 days out from surgery.but you are only supposed to have Clear Liquids. No pureed food or anything. You can have Jello and sugar free popsicles. Drink your Protein Drinks. Bone Broth, Isopure liquid drinks are great as 20 Fluid oz has 40 grams of protein.. Gaterade zero with unflavored Protein Powder you could do too. But no food. Just sip sip sip clear liquids. That's your job just to get your liquids and Protein in.
Here is a link that is very beneficial. Good luck!

Most programs prescribe a PPI such as omeprazole for a while after surgery because heartburn is not uncommon. It also sounds like something like gas-x would be appropriate.
Programs vary widely on dietary progressions, and if yours calls for mushies, at this time, that is fine, though you personally may not yet be ready for it. We were on purees and mushy things from the hospital on out, though not all could handle them that early, and much of the early diet was still a lot of liquid.
Our general rule was to try new foods one at a time to test for tolerance; if it worked, great, if not, go back to what was working and try that food again in a week or two. So, you may be trying something that you aren't ready for yet, but something else mushy may work. Or, you may have to stick to liquids a few more days. People will have varying amounts of inflammation in their newly cut stomachs, so will vary widely on how easily things move through for a while - for some, just Water is very slow to go through while others can easily handle yogurt and other soft and mushy things - both are within normal expectations so don't worry if things aren't going through that well yet, (or conversely, if things are going through easily while others struggle.)

Holy Moses, I am three weeks post op and I JUST started soft foods!!! I was lucky to get two full Protein Shakes in a day during my full liquid days!!! I was on clear liquids for the first week after surgery and then after that full liquids for two weeks....I cannot even fathom soft foods three days out.
I was also given a scrip for omeprazole 40 mg to take for 3 months post op and then he said we would discuss it.

Also you should be taking a daily antacid,GasX really helps too.

Omg I had my surgery on 12/15 and I got my cycle on 12/16! But I’m on a straight clear liquid diet for a week. No soft foods for me until week three. After the clear liquid diet, I’ll be able to drink Protein Shakes.

Yes, NSAIDs (advil, ibuprofen) are not allowed but Tylenol is not an NSAID.

Yes this is true. The regular floors are being overrun. By Covid patients so they are keeping people separate on the recovery floors instead. Plus if you’re in NY this is the last week for elective surgery. Next week it will be shut down again. So my suggestion is go for it. I did.

Soft Proteins, yes.

I used my own recipe.

2 eggs
15oz part skim ricotta
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1tsp ground garlic
1tsp black pepper
Dash of basil
1tsp Italian seasoning
1tsp salt

Mix all these well.

Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons into each spot on a mini muffin baking pan that you’ve sprayed with Pam.

Sprinkle a touch of reduced fat mozzarella on top of each.

Bake 20 minutes at 375.

I’m thinking of making a bariatric cooking/recipe blog. I love cooking and being inventive and really want to stay within my approved foods. So it may be neat!
