Im so confused on what can I eat now on my full liquid im 9 days post op.

my docs idea of full liquid was:

Soup with no lumps or bumps, no exceptions

yogurt

remember you can have stuff if you put it through a blender. I liked refried Beans blended with salsa, cheese, sour cream and chicken broth. I ate a lot of split pea and ham soup that was blended.

liquid diet means it's drinkable...not that it's clear. So mashed potatoes. Yes. I would thin them down. a lot. But yes, if they don't make you dump.

Oh, and I drank A LOT of Protein shakes for the month after surgery.

So gross.

Aaaawww thank you so much.. I appreciated im happy now lol

I would check with your nutritionist first. I was not allowed blended foods. My DR said that even if it is smooth, certain foods are harder on your pouch even if they're blended. I was allowed pudding, Jello, Protein shakes, smooth Soups (not blended chunky ones), yogurt, milk, etc.

wow. as I read these posts it is scary to read them. People have many different diets and such. I currently like protein shakes. I make them with the whey powder from Walmart. What I think will be the hardest for me is the coffee and how I like it in the morning. Routines will change I can see. Yogurt is good but I can see this to be something that might get "old". Is the protein shakes specific to the surgery?

My doctor gave me a list of what I could eat for 2 weeks after. If not on the list than its a no he said....my list protein shakes, yogurt but dont eat the fruit pieces, sf jello, sf pudding, sf freeze pop, cream soup but again dont eat any little pieces, and of course water...pretty simple.

But all doctors have differ plans and your plan is what you should follow.

Most doctors want you to consume 60-100g of protein daily. Since our pouch only holds so much at the beginning, protein shakes are suggested by most doctors. I eat three meals and 2 shakes a day. I will send you some links of the programs of some places it explains it all. Are you in a program or just deciding to have the surgery?

I am on a track now. I have appt for the psych evaluation next week. I have some labs to complete ans I have already lost the 5% required so now I have to maintain and join a support group and attend at least two seminars (I can be online). So I am just waiting. Was told that surgery would not happen until at least January.
