Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Nora, I'm surprised your surgeon didn't have a good consultation with you to walk you through the post op process and help you with a list of suggested drinks/food and such. There is a web site you should visit called sabariatric.com and it has a full description of the gastric bypass diet and other rules to follow. The gastric_bypass_family.com site will also have suggested meals and guides you should be following. My doc has a program that keeps me on clear liquids for 7 days. This includes water, hot or cold tea, sf jello, sf popsicles, or any liquid you can see through with no sugar. After 7 days, change to full liquids which includes the creamy soups, protien shakes if tolerated but not required, sf ice cream bars and other liquid things. I loved tomato soup, cup of soup cream of chicken, and sf fudgesicles. I didn't tolerate protien drinks very well this soon. A specific rule: No bread, rice or corn until 5 month's. It fills the pouch and the corn is too harsh. Around 10-14 days post op, I could move on to soft and mushy. I loved split pea soup, mashed potatos, green beans can mash up nice, oatmeal, cream of wheat, eggs, vienna sausage, whatever you can think of that smashes down. About 3 weeks out, you can start eating most of what is put at the dinner table, just get that little plate and only a few bites very well chewed will do. Get a small fork and spoon. This will help you to take small bites. I loved potroast, roasted chicken the most. I hope this helps! what to eat? hi, i am 4 day out from my surgery. I didn't get anything from my doctor what i can and can't eat.. I bought the HMR shakes a four week supply. I want to know if there is anything Sugar free I can eat other than the shakes. If someone can make a list for me what i can and can't eat. so i can print it out and have it. Can I have SF ice cream or soups what is high In protening that i can have. I don't know and may afraid what i can and can't eat. Any help will help me. what also can I drink other than water? thanks for your help.. Nora post-op 12-28-03 291-???

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Nora, it's a shame they didn't tell you what they want you to eat! I'm sure if you called their office, they could tell you. You'll get many different answers here as doctors seem to vary as to what you can eat. I can tell you what mine is. I'm 6 weeks now, and the only food I had trouble with is scrambled eggs. 1st week, clear liquids, broth or strained soups, coffee, tea, juice, water, Crystal Light, sugar free gelatin 2nd week-Refried beans, mashed hard boiled egg with mustard or tiny bit of fat-free mayo, split pea soup, tomato soup, lentil soup, mashed sweet potato, mashed white potato, applesauce, mashed banana, cream of wheat, sugar free fat-free pudding. I have a list also for weeks 3-6, but as my doctor doesn't advocate protein shakes, I think it wise for you to check with them as to what they want you to eat.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I've been eating toast since the 3rd week, only heavy wheat though, no white puffy stuff. Never had a problem with it. I still haven't tried the red meats other than hamburger, although they say I can. I just know that chicken is so much softer and easy to chew. And yes, I bet every surgeon has different meal-plans for us. Joan LAP RNY 11/18/03 Dr. Higa, Fresno, CA 282pre-op/275surg/239/140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 It's it strange how we react to different food? I'd imagine this could be part of the reasons that different doctors and dieticians prescribe different foods.....
