Your Post Op Diet?



Recommended Posts

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. :)

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?)

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 .

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
