I’m in need of encouragement and food ideas!!! I had the sleeve 3/20/2018. Surgery went excellent I walked the same day even though Nausea was a Killer to me !! I’m feeling sore tired and annoyed of the pudding, jello and broth . I saw sugar free tapioca pudding can I have it ?

My paper says sugar free pudding so I would think that’s an option! I had my surgery the 21st, 4 days post op... I think it’s going to be a rough journey for the next few weeks. But hang in there!

Hi Paulina

I'm 9 days out, had my surgery on 16/3. The first couple of days out post op aren't easy bit you've got to push through to allow your tummy to heal.

My surgeon allows lactose free milk so that's in my mix. Some days I get tired of drinking protein shakes but I remember my puree stage is around the corner. Everything is only for a while.

I asked and was told "rice pudding" wasn't allowed. I'm not sure how tapioca breaks down, but I would assume it is similar in terms of rules. That said try it and if it gives you issues don't do it again.

I had sleeve same day and my doctor did not even put pudding on my list so I am jealous !!!

Really??? I am allowed sugar free pudding sugar free jello low sodium clear broth and sugar free popsicles and non fat yogurt plain or vanilla . Can you have any of these or some not on my list ?

Oh so proud of you !! I’m pushing I just “feel” hungry and it might just be all in my head ! I can wait till next Sunday cuz I can start purée there !!

My list for day 3 thru 7 consists of: three protein shakes (not sure how this is possible) , 2 other items including V8 juice, skim milk, fruit smoothies, puréed soup- all food must pass thru fine mesh strainer if too thick, don’t risk it, avoid high sugar fruit juices. Honestly my list is so vague to me. This is my first rodeo with WLS and I have been constantly searching for more info on what I can have on detail. Ugh.

I have not done puréed soup or fruit smoothie as I am just not sure I should be having on day 5 after surgery. Bit afraid :-(

I would probably wait for the soup, (and honestly I'm surprised smoothie would ever be on the approved list). I found my first week that a bit of a knorr builion cube made with 2x the water was about the most amazing thing I had ever tasted. Like cup o' noodles sans the noodles.

Yeah same here as I thought too much sugar. Thanks for the soup idea sounds good about now. I have been so consumed on how to get in liquid/protein with premier protein drink and shakes that I have not tried much else. It is harder than I thought for sure.

Oh wow that’s a more interesting list than mine !!! I’m scared of anything thick right now ! I even let my pudding thin out a little . I also am eating unsweetened apple sauce .

Pain gets better every day. Hang in there and good luck! I had 2 friends who did this before me with amazing results, but I believe we all handle differently so I am taking 1 day at a time [emoji4]

Thank you
