Post op Diet question



Recommended Posts

Would anyone Successful with their 1 week Post-op diet be willing to post what they are eating/drinking and around what time of day? My Dr prefers Clear Liquids for 1 full week. I don't really care for beef nor chicken broth. I'm forcing it in along with Jello (don't care for that either), so feel like I'm going to starve myself this week unintentionally! I'm also mainly grazing everything, not like meal/snack/meal/snack and so on. Anyone willing to share?

For clear Protein try ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates or Isopure.

Just keep sipping. Whether you really like it or not you have got to stay hydrated and get your Protein in.

This early out I wouldn't really worry about what is a meal or a snack. Just keep sipping.

I also drank Isopure Zero carb. Mainly you want to focus on hydration and whatever Protein you can get in. You won't hit your protein target for a while, just do your best and don't consume foods that are not a low calorie, low carb concentrated source of protein. There is only a small amount of space in your tiny tummy, everything that goes in must count towards your protein goal.

Since it's a liquid diet, I was told to have a meal every couple of hours. I begin when I first wake up with a half of a Protein shake. After a couple of hours, I will have some Miso Soup. I like the organic Red miso Soup from Amazon with a tablespoon of GENEPRO Protein powder. I like GENEPRO Protein Powder because it mixes in hot and cold easily. I'm not too concerned about salt since we are low carb during this time period and low carb diets require more sodium. I go back and forth between the soup and the Protein Shake, changing the type of soup if I get tired of Miso. For example, strained fat free cream Soups like Cream of chicken, mushroom...etc. Yesterday I had a little bit of stage 2 baby food (Beechnut: Just apples & kiwi), it was really good and went down smoothly. Oh, and watered down Cream of wheat is really good at this stage too. Hope this helps.

Best tasting "clear" I've found. Not as high in Protein as Isopure or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, but I occasionally add a scoop of unflavored Unjury to it to boost the nutritional value.

You can also use it- or Isopure, to make Jello.

Until you are hitting your protein goal every day, it's best to stay away from foods that are not good sources of protein, such as fruit or cream of wheat. I had such a hard time reaching my protein goal, due to a lot of swelling, that it took me 18 months. My NUT is the one who advised against ANY non-protein foods. No veggies, salad, fruit (which I still limit due to high carbs) and of course the usual sugar, flour, Pasta, rice, potatoes and bread.< /p>

That first salad after 18 months was HEAVEN, lol!!

Yeah, I agree but I make my protein too easily :) but it's because my recovery has been much easier than most so point taken. I do put 30g of protein in everything, including my cream of wheat. Thanks!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
