Help w/ Post Op Diet



Recommended Posts

I'm trying to figure out the post op diet from Dr. Kelly. I was sent some paperwork before surgery and then given another one before I left the hospital after surgery. Well, the 2 things don't match!! If other patients of his could please tell me what progression they had and on what days post op I'd appreciate the help.

Hey Peppercma,

I have sort of drawn middle of the road between the two. Firstly, I listened to my bod though. I had FF milk on day 8, and on day 13...I had Protein shake...and I think that's the day I started runny cream of wheat. The next day I had runny mashed pots...I never had an issue as long as I listened. I sort of took week 3 and had thick liquids, ricotta bake, all the way to puree style stuff.

By the end of my 3rd week, I had tuna salad (pretty mushy and done in the cuisinart); my thickest food yet. It didn't move 'great'...but chicken salad did. I also had scrambled and soft poached egg that week. The beginning of the 4th, I had meatloaf (OMG) and strangely, beef moved better than tuna. chicken, baked fish, they all are a "go" for me.

I'm 29 days today, just starting week 5...that's where I'm at. I think I am about 4 day's ahead of the fastest schedule? Anyway...that's just me. I really didn't see much difference between "thick soups" and purees except the content of such.

I'm almost hitting 90 oz Water daily too.

How are you doing hon?

I'm doing well. Thanks for the info. I'm not having any problems getting my clears down, just getting used to how they feel when they hit the tummy. I thought my "bubbles" were over, but this is a new kind of bubbling. Today was the first day I could really drink anything as compared to baby sips. I'm just ready to get to some thicker stuff like the cream of wheat and pudding, etc. This liquid thing is getting pretty old.

I had a strawberry banana smoothie at the mall today. Sometimes I just forget that I've had this done. It was after my first sip that I remembered I really shouldn't be having it. But then I thought about all the people who are on the kind of diet that says as long as it's pureed and can go thru a straw (which I do use sometimes) they can eat anything. So, I tried it out very slowly. It went down great and actually felt kinda filling. But, the dairy in it definitely caused some gas :D.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
