Daily food menu

[Nic Tads???? 1]

Hi guys! Im brand new to this forum. Ive just been reading through heaps of fantastic advice! Im being sleeved in Brisbane on Feb 15. Sooooo excited!

I know you have all probably answered this question to death, but can you tell me, what basic food days looks like for - liquid, puree, soft and then also a normal food day. Just basic. Kind of looking for some ideas on what to stock my fridge and pantry with prior to surgery.

Has your NUT or surgeon given you advice on what they want you to eat post op?

You should really go by their guidelines and congrats on the surgery!!

Every surgeon has different guidlines for post surgery. I'm having mine on Feb 17th in FL. My surgeon has me on puree right away, progressing to solids in about 1 week. I will still need a minimum of 40 gr of Protein in shakes daily for the first year.

I found Premier Protein at Sam's for a good price!

My surgeon was hopeless, gave me a pamphlet and said follow this for the next 3 weeks. Wasnt at all helpful. My sister is a dietician and put me on to a book 'Your complete guide to nutrician for weight loss surgery.' I bought it on google play store and have found it a great resource. Gives you meal plans and recipes under each phase of post op surgery.

Hope this helps x

This site has some great recipes for all of the food stages. I HIGHLY recommend the baked ricotta in the puree stage:

Since each surgeon is different, its hard to say. For instance, my progression went Week 1 Clear liquids, Week 2&3 full liquids (which included things that were not liquid), Week 4 soft foods, and then progressed through 12 weeks. At week 14 today, there are still foods that I cannot eat. I will not eat a dense meat like steak until April 26 and I was sleeved on 10/26/2016. If you are getting no guidance from your surgeon or nutritionist, it's kind of scary, but in that case...if you PM me your email, I'll be happy to send you some of the sample pages from my booklet.
