Blew it with the post-op diet... :(



Recommended Posts

My intention was good...I just realized too late that it was wrong. Hopefully I did not cause any damage. I guess I could of screwed up more and had a whole meal or something because I feel like I COULD. Obviously, I won't though.

Another question: I am able to drink fluids (Water and Protein shakes, etc) just as quick as I could pre-band. Should this be a concern? Or is it OK and just a reflection of me NOT having real restriction?

I was banded yesterday. I am on full liquids for two weeks.

Here is a sampling of what I can eat right now ==

Light yogurt

Cream of Wheat

low fat fat free cream/strained Soups (I like split pea with no ham)

sugar free pudding

sugar free Jello

Protein Shakes

sugar free cool whip

sugar free popsicles

skim or soy milk

I had a little yogurt when I got home from surgery last night

This morning I had 1/4 cup yogurt and a few tablespoons of creme of wheat. for lunch I had 1/4 cup split pea Soup. Of course Water, and a muscle milk light Protein Drink.

So I am able to eat and trying to keep up without getting hungry. I'm belching quite a bit and can certainly tell there is something going on as I can't eat or drink that much at a time.

Hope this list helps. I was also told if it can go through a straw you can have it post-op.

Good luck!

since i opened up my personal blender, i've been blending everything. i just blended up some progresso santa fe chicken Soup stuff and added in some of my unflavored Protein mix. the Soups seem to fill me up good. =)

How do those progresso soups taste?

the progresso Soups are good! at least i think so. i was always a fan of them before the band so no reason to change that after. just knowing i can blend one up and "drink" it, is a very comforting thought when i've been all Protein Shakes and Water for days and days. lol

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
