Can you have lentil soup 1 week post-op??

I had my revision surgery on 7/25 to RNY- I'm looking for ideas and I'm just curious if I can eat lentil soup if I blend it real well?

Thanks!

I would say no. Every doctor is different. I was on shakes for 2 weeks, pureed food for 2 weeks and then soft food for 2 weeks.

I was not allowed, but I was not a revision. Ask your surgeon and go slow even if you get a yes, because it might make you feel sick. I was able to have it as a puree after two weeks.

What are your doctor's instruction?

Lentils are high in fiber. Maybe a little hearty for one week post op.

Going rouge this early out probably is not your best bet. Did your surgeon not give you a diet to follow?

I know it's tough, but you have just got to suck it up until you get to pureed. You are healing from surgery. Treat this sh.t like its medicine if you have to. But you just got to do this, just like taking a lifetime of supplements. It's what you signed up for going this route. It gets easier very quickly. Hang in there!!!!
