Has anyone advanced their diet early?



Recommended Posts

It ends up that my family and in laws are suddenly going out for supper. The place that we are going to has cottage cheese which will be the only thing that I can maybe eat. I was bypassed last Tuesday and am only a day or two from pureed foods. Does this sound like something I can do? Thanks.

I was given cottage cheese from the hospital the day after my surgery! I have eaten it every day so far since then (5days) and have had no problems with it :)

I wouldn’t advance myself without the surgeon/teams ok. Just follow your plan and stay safe.

Or call your surgeon and ask

How about Soup? Most places offer some sort of soup.

I don't think anyone should advance without asking their surgeon first.

Cottage cheese isn't solid like string cheese. Cottage cheese can be smashed easily a lot of programs allow it from week 1. I can see why string cheese would be a problem.

Cottage cheese would be fine, I was eating chunkier things on puree's, you just need to be very careful about your quantities and make sure to chew into a puree. Watch out for Soups, there are often a LOT of sugar added in there, it would really suck for you to dump while out with your family!

Personally you'll want to try any "non-approved" foods at home first, just in case you have any issues. But you can eat things you really shouldn't if you can tolerate them. It's just a habit you REALLY don't want to get into if you can avoid it. Look for other, approved options first.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
