I highly doubt those things are on your post op diet after only 2 weeks.

What phase are you on? What are your doctor's instructions?

I know '!! Uhhhhh . I'm having a moment ! Let me make a Protein shake !

I know it's hard but stick to your doctor's post op diet. It's so important so you can heal properly.

Just remember, this is temporary. Soon you'll be back on real food and on your way to a healthy life.

You can do this :)

I am just starting my post-op week 2. My instructions say that I can include to my Clear Liquids more creamier Soups, puréed foods. Tonight I puréed some green Beans. It took a little bit to get past the looks and texture...but at this point I will try just about anything new.

I don't know of I am supposed to but I have been doing grits or oatmeal . I'll do a Soup from Olive Garden . Actually been doing like soft foods I guess . I can't get my Protein down. Just met a girl in the doctor office where I am now and she said that Muscle Milk is delicious ! So I'll try the chocolate . I ate some green been a and it actually went down without me puréed n it.

Jello, apple sauce, and things like that are what you should be eating. Keep drinking those Protein Shakes.< /p>

I know all of our care varies, but if you are looking for something as a reference, fashionstylist- I could scan the booklet I got my from nutritionist for you. Maybe you could show your doc and make sure they are cool with it? I got something really comprehensive.

My phase 2 go's like this; pureed foods, Baby food consistency foods - nothing you need to chew. Eat Protein first, pureed chicken, scrambled eggs , mash low fat cottage cheese, smooth low cal yogurt, or low cal pudding. Then move onto mild pureed veggies such as carrots, green Beans (avoid gassy veggies) Start taking chewable multi Vitamin and Calcium supplement. Eat 3 to 4 meals per day.Stop eating at first sign of fullness. Do not over eat. Do no not eat and drink together. No fluids half an hour prior to meals, with meals and 1 hour after meals to allow fullness and proper digestion. Continue Phase 2 for ___.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!
