What happens after day 30?!



Recommended Posts

So I'm getting close to my 1 month post op, which means I'll be done with the puree stage and move on to soft foods. So what does that mean exactly, I'll be stuck on the soft stage forever? Or is there another stage after that?! Also any suggestions on what I can eat on the soft stage?!

Real food in small portions. Try one item at a time to see if you can tolerate it. After you find stuff that you can't tolerate, try that food again in a couple of weeks.

For me, after the Soft/Mushy stage I gradually went onto more solid type food, regular food with lot of sauce and moisture, and still mostly Protein and very low carb.

In the soft stage I ate yoghurt, soft cheeses, tried scrambled egg but it did not agree with me. Haven't tried a poached egg yet.

I also ate poached salmon and chicken/turkey minces with cheese sauces.

Beef mince did not agree with me, however veal and lamb mince were OK.

So basically, this means soft type food, not too dry or tough to chew.

I also well cooked tougher vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli. Made sure they were very soft.

Zucchini was soft, so I did not blast it as long as the other veggies.

Did you get a diet/food plan from your NUT?

Mine gave me a complete food plan for each stage.

Good luck and enjoy new tastes.

After you go though the last stage you're eating normal foods.....but sticking to an eating plan that helps you to continue to lose weight...for me that's low carb......but I can eat anything. I've not found any food that I can't tolerate.....My plan progressed through the stages quicker than yours, rather than a specific time frame for each it said "progress as tolerated.".....

As far as what to eat in the soft stage, like @ said you should have a plan from your NUT.....but think of it as if you are feeding a toddler....anything soft and easily chewed should be fine.....just take very small bites and chew very very well....you want the food to be like a baby food consistency before you swallow it.

I hope this helps. Good luck to you!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
