Hello All!

What were some of your favorite foods on each phase after surgery? I'm having surgery 6/19 and have ideas from my dietitian and the booklet the WL clinic gave me, but would like to hear from you guys too! I feel that this could be helpful to all pre-opers out there.

Full liquid phase, purée phase, soft food phase and regular diet ideas please!

Preop: Premier Protein Shakes. I still drink them, but my tastes changed after surgery and I don't like how they taste as much anymore.

Clear liquids: Isopure protein water, Prostat protein syrup, jello (hated jello preop)

Full liquids: cream of mushroom soup blended. tomato soup (another food I never liked preop)

Puree/soft foods: cottage cheese, isopure unflavored protein powder (mix this into anything that doesn't have that many grams of protein), oikos triple zero yogurt, mashed potatoes and mased sweet potatoes with protein powder added, fat free refried beans, still eat soup on the regular with protein powder mixed in.

Post op taste changes: Can't tolerate extremely sweet foods. I used to have a major sweet tooth but gagged when I tried some sugar-free chocolate syrup post-op. I also get queasy from plain water and need flavor enhancers. Pre-op I drank 2L of plain room temp water. Now, it has to be cold and I started using Trulemon water flavorers (don't like mio).

Hi there, this was very helpful thank you for sharing. I get sleeved on 19 june so getting my act together now

My advice is get creative. I looked at the list if possibilities and then bought unflavored Unjury. My go to that I still live is chocolate pudding. Made it with a premixed premier protein shake(30 g. of protein in 11 oz) and added fair life milk to get it up two two cups of liquid called for on box. Then added two scoops of unflavored injury as well with the pudding mix. I got 5 servings (4 oz) they were 100 calories and 15 grams if protein.(according to the myfitnesspal app) I would change up the flavor of shake(carmel or banana is really good too)
