Has anyone made the mistake of eating solid food to early?



Recommended Posts

I was advanced to soft foods at around 10 days.

if you do this again you might want to consider something not chicken - something like cottage cheese, or scrambled eggs or refried Beans. Most plans do not have meats until 4 weeks or so.

I'm 7 days post op and I had my follow up today. My doctor told me to go home and Tyra scrambled eggs but don't vomit -- exact instructions-- I thought it was funny. He told me to do eggs and soft fish this week

K and begin adding other foods as tolerated next week. If you tolerated the one bite of chicken, I would think you are fine. You may wan to just eat mushy things though going forward.

solid food? No didn't try but puréed foods? Yes. I think I tried a few bites of sugar/fat free pudding a day earlier than scheduled. Please just make that chicken your last bite until cleared by your program.

Have you tried the Premier Protein shakes? I was in 2 oz every hour for 3 weeks after surgery. I also was allowed juice dilated 50% with Water. Puréed Soups 2oz, sugar free Popsicles, Water with slice lemon, orange or cucumbers in it. That kept me going and feeling fine during my 3 weeks of liquid diet. I was not allowed any soft foods until 3 weeks after surgery. Surgeon wanted my stomach to heal, but every surgeon is different. Just keep sipping through out the day and you should feel full. 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? 🤷‍♀️
