I have some questions 4 newly post op patients.

How does, rice n noodles go down after surgery. My Dr. Said those usually give ppl hard times. And what about lettuce like greens and shell fish. Has anyone tried wine or anything yet. How about steak. What do you guys have problems with.

Rice, pasta, bread I was told not to try to 6 months out because people normally have trouble. I have tried pasta and it made me very full and very sick. Chicken does not work for me at all. I keep trying it because it has always been my favorite.

I have not tried wine but my friend who had surgery two weeks before me can drink anything beer wine or cocktails.

When did you have your surgery? And what have you successfully ate so far and how long did it take to be able to eat them

When did you have your surgery? And what have you successfully ate so far and how long did it take to be able to eat them

I had surgery 12-20-11. I have tried fish, and ground beef with no problems at all. I tried steak this past week. It did not go so well. I have tried most veggies just no lettuce yet. For fruit I have tried strawberries, bananas, apples, blueberries, raspberries, plums, mangos. I only had one piece of fresh fruit of each of these and they went ok.

I eat the Adkins bars a lot and the Quest bars. I start each day with my Bariatric Advantage Protein shake and try to get in one Isopure drink a day as well. I also use the Kellogg's protein Water mix in all the water I drink.

Oh, I use the bariatric pantry Soups. Love the tomato Soup from there also I use the protein tea from there.

Thank you. How long were you on your liquid diet. And how long before you tried fish. What types have you tried. Do you eat shrimp or crab or anything.

I did Clear liquids for one week, full liquids for two weeks, purée food for two weeks, soft foods for two weeks, then to regular diet. I tried white fish like talapia in the soft food phase and tuna salmon. I have not tried shrimp or crab but others tried it during the soft phase and did great with it.

Try isopure drinks. They come in seven flavors and you can get them at GNC or the Vitamin shoppe. They are 160 calories and 40 g of Protein. They saved me. I have a revision on 2-29-12 to fix a twisted intestine. food would not stay down. Doing great now. I only get diarrhea when I eat something to high in sugar. Normally I throw up and get diarrhea from anything with more than 2 g sugar.

I have tried chili and like it and it likes me. Black Beans are great too. My pouch likes them and they are loaded with protein.

I feel really great when I get in enough protein. I was doing so much with aspartame that I was gettin diarreia from that. My friend says that milk gives her diarreia so she switched to coconut milk.

Before I was released from the hospital they said I had an obstruction in my intestines bc I couldn't get down anything not even my spit. I really hate the taste of protein I'm ready for real food again. I've been having a lot of heart burn lately n dry eyes n mouth. I don't know why I have to be on my liquid diet so long. But I'm kinda regretting this surgery.

I'm glad you are feeling better. How much weight have you lost?

I can eat small ants of rice, but no noodles. I have problems with bread and tomato based sauce...no Italian for me. Cereal is bad too. Can't do fresh raw veges and several cooked ones either.

I was feeling the same way with regret but now that I am finally able to eat some things and have more choices it is better. The isopures do not taste like Protein drinks, more like gatoraide.

Have you tried purée cottage cheese. It worked for me and was on my full liquid list. I also like the sunkist protein shots grape flavor. Taste like grape real grape not the fake taste.

Also with the heart burn, I have had here for over 15 years. After my surgery it got worse. My surgeon suggested digestive enzymes. They made the difference. I take one before each meal and have not have heart burn.

BMI weight busters in crystal lake IL is where I purchase them. They have a website and ship everywhere. I am sure you can purchase them at most vit shops too. Worth a try to get ride of heart burn.
