Is this normal for the first 6weeks?



Recommended Posts

Saw the dietician today and this is what they gave me for post op diet: just wanted to see if this is what you all are doing

Clear and Full liquids for two weeks: including strained broth, low fat cream Soups, cream of wheat, skim milk, light yogurt, diluted juice, Tomato juice, popsicles, crrystal light, Jello, pudding, carnation instant Breakfast, Protein Shakes

THEN: Pureed/Very soft foods for two weeks

THEN : Soft foods, for two weeks,

I guess then that would put me at six weeks and on to regular food, but she said to add food one thing at a time so that if something doesn't sit well, I'll know what it might be.

How does this all sound normal?

I feel like I'm going to be a grouch for the 6 weeks!

Oh and also! This she said is really important:

HAVE ONLY 1 CUP TOTAL FOOD PER MEAL 3 TIMES A DAY,

For instance:

1 large scrambled egg

1/4 hot Cereal

1/4 sugar free yogurt

1/4 light canned fruit===all equals a cup

I feel like I'm going to be starving! Did any of you find this?

My post op was very similar. You'll manage, each week you get to move to a new phase and that helps.

I was on a similar diet. When I went in for my two week check up the doctor told me that I could resume my regular eating at three weeks. He won't give me my first fill for six weeks. I did NOT resume my regular eating (I wish he would not have told me that). I am on fish, tuna, cottage cheese, Soups etc. I am not bored with the food and I WANT to lose weight while I am waiting for my first fill.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
