Ok today was the first day after surgery I felt like I could keep anything down. I had surgery 3/14. So today was day 4 post op. Im starving...this liquid stuff is killing me. Did anyone start eating purees sooner if you felt like you could? If so how was it. I tried some vegtable soup today and chewed some vegatables really well and seemed to be fine. I just dont wanna do that if its gonna screw with my healing. Let me know what you think. Thanks

After day four I could eat cottage cheese, oatmeal, grits, egg whites, apple sauce. All in 1/4 cup increments.

Thats good to know. I was going to attemp cottage cheese tomorrow. What about protein shakes? Yogurt?

what has your dr/nut said? They had me on clear liquids for 2 weeks, followed by 6 weeks of full liquids...which i'm still on. It's been difficult. Most people end up doing a 2x2x2 diet. 2 weeks clear, 2 weeks full, 2 weeks mushies to softs. I'd kill for some cauliflower and fish at this point.

My nut said to do one week clear liquids and then move on to purees. I seem to be doing well on the liquids but im hungry. I was gonna try to eat some cottage cheese or maybe some vegatable soup again tomorrow.

Here's what I got from my NUT

My doc only has us eat stained soup and thin cream of wheat or oatmeal, yogurt for 3 days then start soft foods until 8 week then full diet. I never had to do purée at all. I'm 8 weeks out and have not had issues at all.

My Dr said no chunks said to strain. I heard that it is possible to get stuff caught in staple line. Be careful. Creamy Soups r good but strain also.

That's EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Thanks for sharing!! Wondering if you have any other printed gems to share?? Did the give you a diet post day 28?

So yeah all of our doctors are different... You know I even got a different plan than a girl that had it the same day as me with my doc.

Following someone else's plan is probably not a good idea.... Sorry

this is tempting...im also four days out ...hubby made a delish smelling

corned beef/cabbage...ive been dieing for a few mushy pieces of cabbage...i figured they

would enjoy thier meal and i would have my broth and a few pieces of cabbage

OMG I feel like a grinch!! Sorry please don't eat cabbage this early out bad and dangerous!!

Everyone I know that has had the same doctor as me or went through the same bariatric clinic all have the same rules reguarding what to eat and when. I know all doctors are different thats why im going to call mine tomorrow before I attemp anything.

Didn't mean to offend but you said you already ate off off plan and wanted opinions....

I will say that at 4 days out your stomach is still numb so things will not necessarily "hurt"

But can cause damage.

why are you even asking us then? Follow your doctors orders to a "T". Are you looking for permission from strangers. Put on those big girl pants and suck it up, follow your program, you will not die if you are on full liquids(which is probably your next stage). This surgery is a big committment, so commit.
