Hi all

Well I'm 2 weeks post op now and can start my puréed food today. I had weetabix for Breakfast and managed about half of one but now feel really sicky and light headed has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if its cause my bodies just been used to yoghurt's and Soups for past 2 weeks. Definitely stopped before I felt full though so don't feel I've over eaten.

Maybe way to many carbs too soon?

I've no idea it's what my surgeon had suggested but think you may be right

My first 2 weeks started with pureed food. I really prefer my protein drink and water. Tried some mashed potatoes and gravy. Might have some refried beans w/Ortega taco sauce and some melted cheese. When I was in the hospital, I ate some grits and oatmeal and they went down really well. After the 1st 2 weeks or pureed, I think I will be on "soft" foods for a couple of weeks, then regular food.

The post op guidelines are totally different in the UK to elsewhere. For 1st 2 weeks I had to follow a liquid only diet. Yesterday I started my puréed diet that's why I was asking for advice.

We are also not given or told about a protein drink to have..

Wow my surgeon has me on full liquids so far. I think we had surgery the same day. I wish I could eat some food.

I am post open day 8 today. I was only to have clear fluids the first week. Today I get to start shakes and pureed food. My fat free black bean fried beans and protein powder burned my pouch really bad.

I am 2 weeks post op. So far I have dumped twice, both times when I ventured a bit out of the post op diet. Had a small amount of tiny pita chips with my string cheese one time, and the other some baked beans and a tiny pit of potato salad. Terrible mistakes on my part. Other than that I have done exactly what the doc has said. I have been in a bit of a stall for a week but i understant thats normal. Lost 20 lbs in a week and been there for a week now. Gonna stop using the scale for awhile. Been logging my food, keeping carbs very low and calories around 500 per day. Meals have been 1 scrambled egg with a teaspoon of shreded cheese. String cheese or Light and Fit yogurt for lunch. Only half the 5oz if yogurt. 6 oz protein drink, and maybe another string cheese at some point, and a scrambled egg again at dinner. Am I eating too much?
