Does Anyone Else Have To Make Sample Menus?



Recommended Posts

Hi...on Monday, I have my 5th class with my NUT. During the 4th class, we were given instructions to get the Vitamins that we will be taking after surgery and to put together a sample liquid, pureed, and solid food menu. The sample menu they showed us was in 10 minute increments! I guess it's really good to learn how to do this, but how well are all you post-op VSGs able to stick to a menu like that. I mean are you or did you drink every 10 minutes the first couple of weeks post surgery?

Hi JustSleeveIt, I'm still pre-op but my friend had RnY and had to do the same thing. I also just got that assignment from my Nut. My friend told me that after her surgery she was literally always sipping. She still has a fear of being dehydrated over a year out.

Looking back I remember her always having a water bottle. She was either sipping Protein or Water at any given moment. She even had all her bottles for the day measured out and ready to go. She did really well with that. She didn't stick to any times (other than the half hour rule) though like the assignment they have us doing.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
