Post Op Diet

[Tricia39 22]

My surgeon, nutritionist,NP and bariatric dietician have all giving me different post op diets and I'M LOST. I did 2days clear liquid, 2 days full liquid and I tried so soft food today. I'm not eating alot,maybe 4oz and my Protein Shakes. My stomach growls a lot and it's loud

I'm doing okay, just not sure what or how much I'm suppose to eat. I think I've walked the gas out. I was finally able to go to the bathroom, haven't been since Monday. Just wish I could have more energy.

No wonder you are confused! The best person to listen to at this stage is your surgeon as he knows what is necessary for healing.

Your diet seems to be progressing far quicker than most peoples. The standard is usually 2 weeks liquids, 2 weeks mushies, 2 weeks soft and then finally progressing to normal foods at 6 weeks.

Watch what you eat carefully, make sure you are not getting any discomfort and if you do have problems slow down and go back to the previous food stage for a while. Advancing the diet too fast postop can lead to problems.

My surgeon said 2 days clear, 2 days full then soft. I don't have any problems with food going down because I'm only eating about as much food you can fit into a small jar of baby food

I remember being in liquids, full liquids, and soft mushies for quite awhile...couple weeks at a time. You really want to make sure your body, incisions, and tummy heal. Good luck:)
