I am making a grocery shopping list to prepare for the post-op diet. I don't want to get burned out on the same three foods and end up eating something I shouldn't. Can you all share what your typical post-op shopping list looks like?

Also, I like to juice fresh veggies and fruits and it usually ends up being a little pulpy. Would that be considered appropriate for stage two liquids? If the pulp was strained could it be the stage one Clear Liquids?

Thanks!!

Hi, i am new here as of last night. I have a meeting on June 13th about the surgery, so I hopefully will be joining the ranks soon. I am not sure just what you should do according to who or where you got your surgery done, but i did find this link on the net. Maybe you can view it and c what helps, if at all. Good luck!! http://www.murfsurg.com/dietary_guidelines_sleeve_gastrectomy.htm

Every dr is different. During the two weeks post op my dr only lets me have clear liquids plus a I can choose from a preapproved list of protein shakes to have 2oz 3x per day. Fruit he told me is a no no for quite a few months because of the sugar. I can start canned vegetables or regular (as long as they are soft) veggies the third week if they are cut up tiny. So all I bought were shakes, vitamins and some non caloric liquids like powerade zero and crystal light.

Another doctor may say something completely different

Hey--I'm from Murfreesboro! Had my surgery with Dr. Eckles!

My surgeon allows v8 juice, so I would think if you strained the pulp it would be okay, but of course you would want to check with your doc

I just wanted to say that yes everybody's diet can be different, but I think this is a great link for the many people around here that get any guidelines I am hoping to remember it when the next person asks
