Your Post Op Diet?

[Mrtiger1 12]

Just to get a general idea...what was your post op diet? Mine is 2 weeks liquids, 2 weeks pureed, and then solids. Is that pretty much everyone?

My surgeon recomends 1 week Clear Liquids, 1 week pureed diet, 2 weeks soft diet than from day 31 to 6 months the "regular diet" which is 2-3oz of meat 3xs a day, 2 oz fruit or veggies 4xs a day, 1 cup dairy 2xs a day and protien supplement as needed.

Tamara, they have Protein supplements? Like pills right? What are they called and where can i get those?

[TamaraS 235]

I was reading out of the book the surgeon gave me while I was typing that! Im actually not sure if the protien supplement is in pill form or if they ment portien shakes. I will definitely look into it and get back to you Amanda

SO there are protien pills but it looks like they can only contain small amounts of Protein do to their size. There are 6 grams of protein in this chewable tablet per serving (serving size is 6 chewable pills) http://www.dietdirect.com/proteinex-chewable-protein-tablets.html. Hope that helps

My diet is 21 days of Protein Shakes + clear liquids, then 2 weeks pureed foods, then 2 weeks soft foods and then hopefully regular food.< /p>

Mine surgeon's plan is: Day 1 clear liquids, days 2-7 full liquids (protein shakes), days 8-14 mushies, weeks 3 and 4 soft foods, weeks 5 to goal... well... I haven't gotten that far, but I'm guessing it includes a more normal diet low in carbs and high in Protein. ;}

I was only on clear liquids for 4-5 days. Then full liquids (protein shakes, strained Soups, etc.) for about 3 weeks. After that I was on purees, but my list of allowed pureed foods also looked like other people's soft food lists (I was allowed to have soft cheeses, refried Beans, canned chicken/tuna without pureeing, etc.). That was another month. By month 3 I was released to most food within tolerance, with avoidance of raw veggies and things like popcorn, etc.

1. Mine is a little different. 2 days clear liquids, 1 week full liquids, 1 week puree and 2 weeks soft foods, then reintroduce regular foods one at a time

Weird. I was on liquids in the hospital, soft stuff (mashed potatoes, yogurt, eggs, etc. ) for 2 weeks, then cleared with no restrictions other than "lots of Protein, eat small meals, no grazing, and keep it healthy". (I kinda feel like a fraud on here, I had a duodenal switch 7 weeks ago, but I assume the process is pretty much the same?)

2 days following surgery clear liquid

2 weeks full liquid (protein shakes, cream Soups, etc)

2 weeks pureed

2 weeks soft

After that is open depending on what I will be able to tolerate

[NDN_RN 527]

Week 1 clear liquids 20g Protein a day

Week 2 full liquids 40-60g protein

Week 3 pureed

Week4 soft 60-80g protein

Week 5 regular with some restriction 80+ g protein

6 to goal add foods as tolerated

How is your body looking with all that Protein? I am on day 10 and my doc says he does not care how much PROTIEN I get right now, just liquid to avoid dehydration .
