I can't have any Beans ... Can you have refried beans?

i had surgury 2 weeks tomorrow,, rang my doc this morning cuz i was getting really really hungry and he said i was fine to move to mushies,, so i can have anything i can mush with a fork,, its really weird i feel more alert mentally but im still physiclly tired its really annoying,, like i have eneregy but i feel in my chest like i keep needing to yawn,, not sure if its my body or my high anxiety :/ either way its annoying

I had surgery on the same day lilbrigy how are you doing ? Do you still have gas pains

yea a little bit,, but only really if i drink to fast or if i sit around for too long,, i started walking on one week post op which helped alot with the gas,,, im feeling pretty much back to normal now, which makes it a little hard cuz i have to keep reminding myself to drink slowly lol ,, its real uncomfy if i drink too fast

Lucky you girlie! Enjoy it!

I start mushies week 3. My post-surg diet does not seem as strict as some others.

Hospital stay - Clear liquids

Week 1 - full liquids

Week 2 - pureed

Week 3 - mushies

Week 4 - soft

Does that seem pretty cohesive with everyone elses? I'm kinda petrified to move into pureeds on Friday!

My post op diet is:

First 24 hours- clear liquids

Next two weeks- pureed

Next two weeks- soft foods

A month after surgery- regular foods

I will be banded Friday

Thank you

yea i think most DR are a little different but follow the same kinda guidelines,, my dr said 2 weeks liquid 2 weeks mushy then move onto solids,, but i think u just need to keep in contact with them about how hungry you are and how your feeling, liquids and mushy foods are just cuz the swelling is going down and to get us used the the feeling of our bands,

good luck for your op,, it really isnt as scary as we think plus make surr you have all your liquids n stuff ready for when you get home and a heat pack
