Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I'd be in this much pain !!!! Ugh! My surgery was on Tuesday and everything went fine. I guess I just wasn't prepared to feel this bloated. I know walking helps and so do patience. I'll admit..I'm not a patient person by nature !!!! I'm also finding the food choices difficult. I've read to stay on clear liquids from 2-4 days after surgery, and from 7-10 days. Any ideas as to which i should follow? I could kill to hve some pureed peaches or carnation instant breakfast. HELP! ~kelsey Quote

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 The bariatric center where I'm having my surgery done says clear liquids for 2 days, then full liquids for 2 weeks, then pureed for 6-8 weeks. That is fairly consistent with what I've seen at other sites. I think it would probably be easier on the pouch to progress slowly like that. Just my 2 cents, not worth any more than that. > > > > Screw what you heard......What did your doctor/surgeon tell you to do? > > > > Mike T > > > > I never thought.. > > > > > > > > > > I'd be in this much pain !!!!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Yeah I'd agree with Mike. You can MAYBE get a little more into what you heard after a few weeks but probably more like a few months. For something like the first few days you can't screw around with supposition. Surely your surgeon provided you with a plan, products, and documentation or at minimum advice. Work with you doctor exclusively at this delicate stage. > > Screw what you heard......What did your doctor/surgeon tell you to do? > > Mike T > > I never thought.. > > > > > > I'd be in this much pain !!!!

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 I am. I'm waiting for 7 days or so before I start my pureed foods. In the mean time I've been scaring my family off...who knew being hungry would make a person so cranky*LOL*...I think theres a connection between that and them pushing my pain killers which make me sleepy ! > > I'd be in this much pain !!!!
