Help! Going out of town the day I can start puree



Recommended Posts

My husband and I want to travel about 4 hours to Wichita starting Friday. Friday is also the day I can start my pureed diet. Am I stuck on liquids for a couple more days or is there anything I can take with me. I need to get some calories in, I have been losing very slowly this week.

You *could* delay starting purees and continue liquids until you return because new food stages are tricky when it comes to digestion/bathroom habits (but 4hrs is not a very long trip)

Yogurt and cottage cheese is very accessible/easy to eat on the fly when traveling

Have a great trip 💚

Thanks! I am going to bring along yogurt and cottage cheese. It sure beats Protein Shakes all day long!

Thank-you!

I would be careful that first week is rough and would not want to be in a car with no bathroom

I took my time switching to the puree stage. My doctor said it was fine. He'd rather I took my time switching rather than jumping into the next phase too quickly.

Thanks all, I think I will play it safe and stick to Protein Shakes while on the road.

        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!!

      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!!
