Week 3 Post op...no hunger, hardly eating

[Belladonna1670 1]

So my surgery was on 1.8.18, and since I have had zero appetite. I will eat somethings ( still on phase 2 full liquids and soft foods) but most of my options are sweet ( yogurt, oatmeal, pudding, Jello, premier protein) with the 2 exceptions of grits and mashed potatoes. I just rather not eat and drink Water then to suffer through more sweet crap. Also has anyone else noticed a stall in weightloss after 3 weeks or even a lb or 2 weight gain? My husband says I'm stressing over nothing but idk.

Sounds like you need clear Soup ...

THEN onto chunkier Soups as soon as you can.

Do try to eat four HALF-CUPFULS of food dense in Protein if you can. Don't avoid eating.

So best to restart the clear liquid diet again and essentially restart the post op diet program?

No not clear liquid 'diet', just less sweet tasting things and sweet shakes. Try creamof chicken Soup with pureed chicken thigh in it or some blended tuna salad. Isopure ready-made blue raspberry with half crystal light lemonade is more tart than sweet if you need the Protein grams - 20oz Isopure is 40gr of protein. We all get averted of the sweet stuff after surgery. Even just some milk is good when you need something w protein.

Not allow pureed meats yet BUT will try the Soups for variety. Thank you so much

I'm 3 weeks out and lost 6# after surgery but gained 1.4 pounds in the last week. I'm not stressing about the scale though, I'm basing it on how my clothes are feeling. I am on soft foods now. I'm able to eat 2oz of chicken salad, 3oz of egg salad, ricotta bake and bean puree. I still do a Protein Shake in the morning and I agree they are too sweet now that I'm post-op. I don't like anything sweet.

Veggie Soup or stew blended will be a great consistency - nice and warm and savory. I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow and already dreaming about my first blended soup about a month from now. Good luck!

I am not a sweet person and my doctor said no mashed potatoes, grits or oatmeal so I was having the same problem, someone on here recomended a recipe and I lived on it for several days and it was a lifesaver.

1 can refried Beans ( i like black beans)

2 TBLS chicken broth

Low Sodium Taco Seasoning

Can Diced Chicken in Water ( my Dr. said it was moist so good for soft food)

Cook and Mix it all togther in pot. You can add some cheese if you want.

'Hope this helps.

Soft foods has soooo many options not sweet. I was so damn sick of sweet drinks myself during my pre op diet. I’m on week 2 and I purée my favorite Soups in the blender. I bought ready made cauliflower balls from costco and chew it really well. Moist deli meat! Yum! Eggs! Well Steamed non fibrous vegetables you can eat or purée. Hummus! So many hummus has different flavors to choose too! Ripe avocado
