RNY Surgery July 2010
What are you eating now?
RNY 7/15/10 I am still at full liquid stage. I can have SF popsicles, jello,& pudding. I can have broth and low fat cream soups strained. I can also have cream of wheat or cream of rice (doesn't seem liquid). I can also have low fat/cal smooth yogurt. Protein drinks and water water water. I am allowed some apple or cranberry juice but have not braved the juice. I have had some days where a slice of cheese (or something)sounds so delicious! Thankful that I didn't give in! In about a week or so I move on to pureed foods.
This is reassuring. I've been so confused about what "liquid" means! I think I am too literal! I'm 5 days post-op and have been having SF popsicles, SF pudding, cream of rice (mixing in protein powder), crystal light, creamed soups (didn't know to use lo-fat--will do that next--add in protein here too and puree), some broth, no sugar added applesauce, and tried a protein shake (skim milk and protein powder). I guess that's it. Yesterday I had some chicken soup pureed (no noodles or anything).
Hi ladies!! I am two weeks and a day post op, and I still have a full week of full liquids to do. I have the broths, protien, jellos and juices,but i gave in on Friday and couldn't handle the liquids so I had some cream of wheat which isn't on my list of foods for a liquid diet I also tried cottage cheese, both have done well in my pouch, but since I am not offically on the pureed diet, I only allow my self one of those once a day, oh and mashed up pinto beans, once a day only. I think those once a day treats are saving my sanity LOL
I know that is right! My doctors have me on a 3week liquid diet and I had to add a little variety to it. When you have been eating for so long I must admit it has been tough. I had to add the cream soups and some yoguart. I was starting to not eat (or shall I say drink) at all. That was not going to help me. Has anyone really started exercising yet. You all have lost so much weight and I have only lost 18lbs. My sugery was on the 14th of July. What am I doing differently?
Hey there!
I too am at the liquid stage, but don't quite understand why cream of wheat, cottage cheese and runny oatmeal is also ok (?). I go for my first 2-week appointment on Monday and am hoping to move on to pureed foods and get the okay to start driving...talk about cabin fever! I am supposed to be having 5 protein shakes a day and am really struggling with this. Any suggestions on a good, unflavored protein powder would be greatly appreciated.
I look forward to sharing in this journey with all of you

I had surgery 7/21, and I'm on sugar free liquids only for two weeks. I was told to sip on protein shakes if I start feeling week, fatigued, dizzy, but I haven't felt that yet so I've been living on water, crystal light, popsicles, sf jello and chicken broth. I feel just fine! Actualy, the thought of eating anything is difficult! I am absolutely NOT hungry. It's so interesting to me how every doc has a different plan. I see some people are actually eating something while they're still in the hospital!
