Yes, Everyone has different instructions. My instructions were over three years ago. I'm sure they are out of date. Best advice is follow your instructions given by your team.

Hi. My dietary guidelines were 2 days Clear Liquids after surgery followed by 2 weeks of full liquids then 2 weeks of puréed food. The following month is soft foods and the next month is solids. Is your plan similar?

I (and others, I'm sure) was offered clear liquids on the day of surgery and the day after.

I was ordered to be on a liquid diet for the first week. I am in my second week now. I am allowed to have "full" liquids this week. The third week I can move on to pureed foods. She said to do that for the full week and then, when I feel comfortable, start trying soft foods. The one thing I have been a bit confused on is portion sizes and calorie intake. I know we are supposed to eat until we are "satiated" and not full. Which is what I do. But I'm afraid my portion sizes are not big enough. I've been keeping active, so want to make sure I'm taking in the right amount. Good luck to you!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
