What I can eat?

[Marie8777 136]

Hey everyone I'm very new I just had my gastric bypass on dec 31st 2014. My emotions are all over the place and even though I wanted to get this undone I have decided to stick it out for my better. I didn't make it this far to quite now. Anyways it's been 5 days and all I have is some Protein Shakes and lots of Water. I wanted to know what else I can have like borth,Popsicle,jello etc. I just need to know what's allowed your 1st week. Then on the 2nd also thanks in advance to all.

I had a RNY surgery 20 months ago. My program recommended full liquids for the first 4 weeks (2 ounces per meal and three meals per day). Full liquids are foods that have a semi-solid or pudding like consistency. Examples are:

Strained baby cereals

Cream of wheat

Cream of rice

Malt-O-Meal

oatmeal

Grits

Cocoa wheats

Farina

Instant Mashed Potatoes

Strained Cream Soups

Unsweetened applesauce

Baby food fruits/vegetables

sugar free pudding

Yogurt (light smooth variety - no fruits)

Low fat cottage cheese

Low fat cheese

Beans (fat free refried, pinto, navy, kidney, lentils, great northern)

sugar free popsicles, sugar free jell-o and broth are allowed between meals.

But in addition to the meals, there are Vitamin, liquid and Protein requirements. The Protein requirements are the sum of the amount of protein obtained from the meals combined with the amount from protein supplements (Protein shakes, protein bars).

I suggest you follow the plan provided by your surgeon's office, or check with them. Most plans are very different in what they allow.

I absolutely agree with the previous comment. My best friend and I both had the RNY at two very"prestigious" places. But there are differences in our diets. What is allowed and what is not. Certain foods she could eat I was unable to eat until much further out. Utilize the nutritionist they should have on staff. Foods may seem monotonous in the beginning but don't worry little by little your choices will increase. I think we can all agree that Protein and hydration are key at this point.

For meals in the hospital I was given mashed potatoes and gravy, yougart, vanilla pudding, my Dr's office gave me a list of clear broth, sugar free gello, pudding, Popsicles, cream of chicken, potatoe, cream of wheat. No problems holding anthing down so far. Unable to deal with the protien shakes so I have been adding cottage cheese to my meal
