Eating Post Op after Gastric Bypass

[DimandGirl 23]

Had gastric bypass on the 22nd of July (so I'm 3 days post op). I have no clue what to eat. I know I'm on the liquid diet, but I'm DEFINITELY not eating enough. I feel dizzy tonight. I had 2 SF jellos yesterday and 2 today. What did y'all eat days 2-7?

Protein Shakes, chicken broth, drinking Water, I also got sugar free power aide, I had yogurt, those are things I been eating and seems to help me out. The first days I also had headaches maybe you need to drink more fluids you are probably dehydrated

@@lovingdavid did you mix a scoop of Protein Powder with milk or Water?

[lovingdavid 119]

I been using Silk Almondmilk Unsweetened vanilla with my Bariatric Advantage High Protein Meal Replacement Chocolte Flavored. I normally well my mom makes it for the whole day so we blended also add a banana and a bit of Water if it's to thick. I love it!! I tried the Vanilla flavor ones and I just didn't like them.

I was so nausiated that the only thing I could tolerate was Crystal Light and GRAPE! sugar free popsicles. I had some clear chicken broth in the house, but never drank it. So it was towards the end of the 2nd week before I started eating anything.

@@lovingdavid sounds good! I have the whey isolate chocolate walgreens brand and instant Breakfast carnation. When did you have your surgery?

[lovingdavid 119]

I had my sleeve on July 16th and lucky I haven't had a problem drinking my shakes. I tried Atkins and I just couldn't stand the taste it felt weird on my tummy.

@joatsaint- glad to hear I'm not the only one!

@lovingdavid- I'm just hoping the blended/puréed stage makes things easier.the no options thing is very hard.

[lovingdavid 119]

Joatsaint when did you have your surgery?

[lovingdavid 119]

Dimandgirl yes let's hope it's much easier, one thing I tried was the sugar free Jello and couldn't have it because it was super sweet for me..

[DimandGirl 23]

@@lovingdavid aren't you starting the blended/puréed stage very soon?!

You may or may not be allowed Protein Shakes at this point. Every doctor is different. I was on Clear Liquids only the first week. Of course you're weak, tired, and dizzy right now. You just had surgery. It will get better. I did not have a single thing other than Water and Jello week 1 aka no calories and I'm fine.

[lovingdavid 119]

DimandGirl yes next week on the 30th I can and I am looking forward

[lovingdavid 119]

Knit yes I have to agree with you that all doctors are different because I started Protein Shakes at the hospital the day after my surgery. I did not like the vanilla flavor was good with chocolate
