Hi ya'll, So I am day 5 post op and in find it hard to do what the doctor suggested so I am playing around around it. He said cream of soup now that's too heavy So today I tried Miso Soup with no sea weed and few tofu great success. He said cream of wheat that was hard to digest so I tried laughing cow melted triangle cheese. The best breakfast yet. Shakes are coming along okey but not too well so i tried cultured milk AKA kefir. So far I have tried those and all have much protein. Please share your items perhaps I can find comfort in them. TIA

Hello.

I am 5 days post op too (sleeved on 10/7).

I am following the Kaiser plan given to me by my nutritionist before and again given to me at the hospital before my discharge.

You can print out the PDF's from the West Los Angeles Kaiser site online

They are very helpful and include shopping lists and portions to get 60-75g of Protein through this liquids only stage we are in for about 10 more days.

Good luck!

I wouldn't play around with it. Go with your doctors instructions.

It is hard early out but you really do need to follow your surgeon's instructions. They aren't suggestions, they are designed to help you stay nourished and heal safely.

Thank you all. However my surgeons suggestions are if it matches the consistency than u can go with it. Cream of wheat is way tom heavy and has zero nutrition. I am against caned food so fresh Miso Soup is full of protein and it's like water. And being I'm trying to get out of diabetes having a drinkable yogurt loaded with sugar is not a good idea when cultured milk is a natural praboitic with protein same consistency as yogurt even thiner. I would say look further for much better items and ask your doc those are just few suggestions they put on paper.

My first week was clear liquids so I used premier protein (my surgeon allowed this as an exception to the clear rule), and ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrate. My second week was full liquids (which also included Greek yogurt and cottage cheese). I also used ProtiDiet creamy chicken and tomato basil soup.
