POST OP DIET? Day After Surgery /1st Week



Recommended Posts

Hi,

As a previous post stated my surgery is this FRIDAY the 17th!:blink:

When I am ready to eat ......liquid of COURSE on the 18th what is realistically the amount I will be taking in? A few sips at most or more?

I hear such conflicting stories about this!

Any help is appreciated in advance!:D

It's really going to depend on how swollen you are. The more swollen, the less you'll be able to drink. Ideally you should sip, sip, sip liquids all day long. It's easy to get dehydrated in that first week, especially if you're sleeping a lot. As the swelling goes down your sips will be able to turn into swallows and soon you'll be drinking like normal.

That will depend on you, how you feel, are you hungry, the swelling plays a big part in this.

But hopefully you do have some things purchased, that are all in liquid form.

yup yup...depends on the person...

I've been able to drink a large volume at a time. Of course, I can't chug Water like I used to be able to...but by no means am I just doing Lady Victoria teacup sips.

Hey there!

I got banded on the 8th. I got home the day of surgery, and I was pretty swollen. I drank about a cup of Water and/or tea (unsweetened) at a time, and I could eat a whole sugar free popsicle. As of today I can eat about 1/2 cup of puree'd Soup at a time, and that holds me for about four hours, but I can drink water in sips, pretty much as much as I want. I think it just goes through. I can't gulp any liquids though, and my doctor says I shouldn't anyway. Hope that helps!

I think it depends on each person however had my surgery June 8th - I slept all day Wed - Thursday slept off an on all day - drank about 2 oz of Protein Shake over about 15 minutes (maybe less) and sipped on Water all day -- each day I drink a little more - I am 5 days post op and have a Protein shake in the AM about 3-4 oz - sugar free Jello cup around noon - protein shake again for lunch and about 3/4 cup chicken bouillon for dinner - so as you can see it depends on the person but it is really not bad and you will be surprised how good you will start feeling on day 2..and on I even excercised for 30 minutes today on my stationary bike -- BEST THING I EVER DID~ :D

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
