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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
