Increase GRADUALLY. I don't think you should be eating 3 oz. at this stage. I

could barely eat anything 1 week post op. As I recall it took about 15-30

minutes to get 1 oz of WATER down!.......Betty S in TX

Some DR's start puree in the hospital even but I am not sure on the protocol

but mom (vitalady) said we can eat two ounces every two hours and your

protein is very important and you must get them and water down as soon as

possible bad things happen when you don't get water . what I did when I was

preop was concentrate on my water and I would try to feel it drain from my

pouch and get another sip so basically I would have my bottle with me at all

times and I would sip sip sip all day long at least till I got to 48 ounces

of water just be patient and keep trying and more water will keep that

hunger away till hour three rolls around

TN * good luck *

Re-organize. All those carbs are making you hungry. Do more protein, less of

the oatmeal & yogurt. You'll feel more satisfied. Honest.

Start doing soups, back off of the carbs and figure out a schedule that

best suits your day. If you feel you can't eat that many times a day,

instead of eating the in-between meals add a protein instead. Protein

helps in more ways than ya believe. It's a wonderful meal, wonderful

drink and for me its comforting. So say you start your day off at say

7am:

7am: Protein

7:30 Breakfast & Vits

8:00 Water

10:00 Protein

10:30 water

12:00 Lunch

12:30 Water & vits

2:00 Protein

2:10 Water

4:00 Protein

5/6 Dinner & Vits

1/2 hr later water

8 sf popsicle or sf treat or PROTEIN

You can start your water intake right after you drink your protein you

don't have to wait but I normally wait a little bit just so I don't over

load myself. And depending on what vitamins you take depends on when

you take them. This is only an example. Hope this kind of helps. Best

of Luck,

Angie - My instructions are to stop drinking 30 minutes before a meal and don't

start again until 30 minutes after. All the time in between you should be

drinking. You can alternate say 16 - 24 oz. of water, then a protein drink.

You'll find that this fills you up so much that when the 3 hour mark comes, you

may not even be hungry. Good luck. It takes practice to make it all work.

At 1-2 wks. postop I struggled to get liquids down PERIOD! Sip,

sip, sip, sip. My first foods were PUREED home made veggie soup. I

drank prebottled Isopure zero carb grape sipping constantly for

protein. Move slowly with advancing to food. Focus on liquids!

Here's a few suggestions for the first month after surgery. It is

common for plain water to irritate your new pouch. For me, 1/3 to

1/2 strength gatorade/juice (1st week only), sugar free jello,

homemade broth (frozen in ice cube trays to be reheated later), and

sugar free popsicles & Dole no sugar fruit juice popsicles were what

I tolerated best the first week postop. I like Snapple diet cran-

rasberry to drink or Crystle Light. Then I made vegetable soup,

pureeded it and froze it in ice cube trays. Creamed soup tasted

good after 10 days postop. After 2 wks postop I ate plain yogurt

blended with frozen fruit, Isopure protein drinks (daily) blended

with frozen fruit/ice or skim milk, mashed black beans, diced

shrimp, mashed potatoes, smear of peanut butter on a triscut,

mozarrello cheese sticks with bites of a triscut cracker, and sugar

free pudding.

Hi,

I am new on line and I received 85 e-mail massages and yours was very good. I

have two more test to go through and I hope by the end of Sept or some time in

Aug. I will have surgery.

I have been looking for so long for some one that would talk about what they eat

after the surgery. Thank you so much for the feed back.
