Moved up a stage early by Doc. Question



Recommended Posts

I just thought if something. I was moved up to the puree stage early by my doc and Nut. They moved me to pureed food on a Friday and I wasn't scheduled to move up until the following Wednesday.

Does that mean my new move up day for each stage is now Fridays or still Wednesday?

Meaning should I continue moving up on my original scheduled day or is my whole plan moved up and I could have moved on to soft food as of yesterday (Friday which would have been a week on puree)

Doc and Nut not in on weekends or I would have of course called them :-)

I had the same situation. My moving up day changed too. Just because you had one stage shortened, don't shorten the next stage. Good luck!

I was to be on clear and Protein shakes for 2 weeks, but my nut moved me to yogurt and cottage cheese day 10 and soft/mushie day 11. I plan to consult with her at six weeks, although next phase is 8 weeks

Best to ask your doctor/nut.

I had to see my nut at every food stage change. For me it was every 2 weeks.

It may also depend how well/not well you tolerate each stage.

Listen to your body and observe how you are doing, any extra noises, any reflux or indigestion, what really agrees with you, are you hungry, etc

Then you can discuss it with your nut.

Good luck.

I certainly wouldn't know and could not give you medical advice.

It is a bummer you can't reach your doctor/nut over the weekend.

If it was me, I would wait until Monday and call them. The healing stomach needs lots of TLC and being careful with it.

As I had personally few issues at every food stage change, I err on the side of caution.

Good luck.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
