3 days post bariatric surgery

Hi Yoyo- I had the sleeve 11 weeks ago. They gave me enough pain meds so it was tolerable for the following week. After that, I used extra strength tylenol. Some people get nauseous afterward. The doctor gave me a liquid medicine for that, but I never used it. Welcome! Keep us posted on your progress!

That's a good question, Tex. I just got my liquid diet forms from hospital is going to do my Endoscopy in July and it says,

No milk shakes or smoothies, no orange or pineapple juice, no milk, dairy, almond, or coconut milk.

The only juice you're supposed to have is apple and only clear Apple. However it does allow for popsicles that are made with fruit juice but have no fruit in them. That's kind of like sorbet. So Kat, what do you know?

well tex, when your in the hospital you eat what they give you and they gave me sorbet.. sorbet doesn't have milk and it was sugarfree. I also have a joes ice here and they have sugarfree but its not like the hospital sorbet and i am feeling a little sweaty and having pain when i am trying to drink my protein drinks.

Lovalee, what sort of preparation did you have for the liquid diet or the phased diet? Did you have a list of foods that you could eat or were you told this in appointments or seminars?

I had both appointments and a list of ideas...I was only on clear fluids day 1 in the hospital then moved to full fluids,,,Everything I have been reading here and elsewhere, it seems my program progresses much faster.

That's awesome! Hopefully a new standard will be set. I forget, which surgery did you have?

Thanks for sharing. Maybe your diet was set up just for you, based on your health, based on your needs. It would be dangerous for people who had gastric sleeve or roux-en-y to be eating solids the day after surgery. I mean seriously, really bad things can happen.

Oh maybe I said someone that was misunderstood, I wasnt put on solid food. I was on full fluids day 2 then pureed food after day 10

Hi Lovalee! I was reading through your posts on here and would love to get an update on how you’re feeling now- almost 6 weeks post surg (pain management, what you’re able to eat, not eat, how much weight you have lost, overall mood etc)!
I just joined this group today and love to read the updates on progress and encouragements from everyone.
