Able to eat almost anything

[kyboo1972 90]

i was allowed sugar free pudding, but absolutely no meat at all for 2 week after surgery. the 3rd week i can try soft grounded up meats..but not until then. I'm on day 8 and still on my 2 week liquid diet.. like i said though.. i can have pudding and Jello and things like that.. even stage 1 babyfood veggies and fruit. Please take care with trying those solid foods and wait a few more weeks. It's very dangerous to be eating that way right now.

Has anyone had hives and red bumps on. Skin after surgery? My hands (palms ) itch so bad and my feet. Today I had red bumps that come and go, my palms are all red, and my feet itches so bad i cant sleep. The itching for the most part comes at night, and this has only been for about 2 weeks now. I'm 5 weeks post op

I didn't have hives, but I had insane itching on my back, underarms and torso. I called the doc's office after day 2 of that and the phys assistant told me that the severe itching can happen because your body is depleted of oils. She told me to eat nuts (walnuts or pistachios, avocado and use olive oils in cooking.

Not everyone feels restrictions right away. I didn't. The nerves in your stomach have to heal. So, stick w your Dr's guidelines. The restrictions - which are helpful in gaining self control - will come. Also the volume and texture of the wrong foods can apparently damage the pouch. So be patient and follow the rules. Good luck!

I was on Clear Liquids and Protein shakes only for 10 days. At day 5, I was allowed half a cup of applesauce only because I couldn't swallow meds. chicken? I had my first bite yesterday at 5 weeks. Being in liquids isn't a suggestion... don't do steps early. Don't cheat, as it isn't "cheating" .... this is a lifestyle change not a diet.

If you need flavor there are plenty of ways to get it, but eating chicken is not one of them.

That sounds like an urgent call to your doctor. I've never seen or read about that and sounds like it could be an allergic reaction.

I had red bumps and hives on my abdomen..very itchy. I finally had to have a steroid shot and antibiotic shot. It was a reaction to something from the surgery.

If the zytek helps you (and I hope it does!) we probably don't have the same thing going on. The PA told me no pill or allergy cream would help because (and ick, brace yourself) I was itching from the inside out. I hope you feel better soon!

My Dr had me on soft chicken and tuna a week post op soft stage 3 full liquids the first week. With that said, nothing bothered me that was on my list to try til w weeks out which was Monday everything has bothered me since except Protein shakes and yogurt. Water even bothers me. Other things seem to "get stuck" I can only describe it as chest pain after 3 baby spoon bites. Be easy on your tummy you may just not feel the damage.

It could be that you've just gotten some inflammation happening in there, in which case it's a good idea to take a couple of days and go back to the liquid diet, maybe even clear liquid diet, to give it a chance to recover. Then see how it goes after that, gradually. And just make sure that everything you swallow is of a consistency that you could suck through a straw.
