When did you start puréed food, and solid food?



Recommended Posts

It is all different depending on which program you are in. My program had me on Puree for a day, and then I have been on solids since day 4 post op, but that is absolutely not normal.

I was on puréed food a week out from surgery and then soft foods a week after that and will be on it for another week or so... then I will be on regular diet.

My surgeon had me on clear liquids for the first four days, full liquids for a couple of days, pureed foods for five days, soft foods for a week, then regular foods as soon as I could tolerate the soft foods and get at least 700 calories a day. So I began regular foods about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks after surgery. I haven't had any problems with food -- I just need to be careful of sugar and sugar alcohols, especially on an empty stomach.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
