Post-op: How long until you ate real food?



Recommended Posts

I was on Clear Liquids in hospital for 2days. I left on 12-3 Discharge diet was full liquid which I am still on. I can move to soft foods on 12-8. Meet with surgeon and dietician on 12-14.

Not unlike my plan.

PRE-OP: At least two weeks of three Protein Shakes per day to shrink liver PLUS one lighter NORMAL meal.

POST-OP:

1) about ten days clear liquids THEN

2) about 14 days at almost 100% liquids THEN

3) about 12-14 days of pureed foods THEN

4) small meals of solids; liquid foods optional; Two litres of Water per day. Meals should include 90 grams to 115grams of Protein. Proteins should outnumber carbs 3:1 or 5:2, IF POSSIBLE.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
