Post Op/Pre-Fill Eating and Nutrition

[goodguy2k 0]

I was wondering if anybody has received any specific guidance about dietary intake during the post-op/pre-fill liquid and solid phase.

I've heard daily intake of at least 65g of Protein and calories around 1200 but I'm concerned about carbs and fat as a percentage of overall intake. I also understand that these questions typically become irrelevant with a fill because of eating protein first, followed by veggies and then a starch (assuming you aren't full yet.)

As I'm still on liquids, does anybody have any guidance?

my doc gave me a list,

first 3 days after surgery = liquid diet

days 4-7 full liquid

days 8-10 = puree

days 11-14 minced

week 3 soft

week 4 bariatric regular

not a whole lot to choose from on the list, everything is fat free, sugar free, and you got the Protein first

cottage cheese, mashed pototes, pureed meats, pureed veggies, sf yogurts, cream of wheat, oatmeal, then on week 4 you can pretty much eat anything just cut into tiny pieces, some things like raw veggies, tough fruit and hot peppers are to be avoided for like 6 months

hope that helps

good luck
