Sarah,should you be eating @ 2weeks post -op?what does your intake consist of,perhaps if you posted what you are drinking & eating ,experienced pre-oppers could comment & I could also learn as I'm 4 weeks off surgery!!!

 

[sarah sculley]

All I'm eating is soup and it's only a couple ov spoonfuls I'm drinking fine but I just feel like I should b eating a little more??? Help???

 

[sarah sculley]

It will b 3 weeks on Wednesday since opp

 

[kjb]

Great weight loss in two weeks though,you should be thrilled

What advice has your bariatric team given you?

Hi, I am six weeks post bypass and I think you are doing just fine!! I have now lost 2st 2lb since op, so you sound like you are on track.
I was the same at around your stage and was worried I was not getting in enough, but you just have to try your best to keep ur fluids up.
Good luck on your weight loss journey.

Hi
What soup are you having is it home made or bought and strained? I'm due to have my op in a week and nervous about it all and what to eat etc. well done on your weight loss x

 

[sarah sculley]

I'm over the moon with weight loss but I just feel im not eating enough? Tinned soups but ones with no lumps I have had some mashed potatoe with gravy and that was ok it mayb cos I'm eating the same things that I feel like this just have to wait and see how it goes thanks for your support x

 

[kjb]

Do you have hot drinks?if so r u having sweeteners,have you also tried milk,wondered if it was ok perhaps to add the powdered nesquik to flavour the milk,sorry for the questions,but I want to try options so as not to become bored or disillusioned following surgery

 

[sarah sculley]

Yes I drink hot tea and I have milky coffee (made with milk) and sweetener all them are fine can't drink a full cup yet just half lol when's your op? X

[sarah sculley]

When I came out I lived on yoghurt all types then soup just tomatoe nothing with lumps in good luck to both ov u keepe posted on your success x

 

[kjb]

My op is scheduled for 10th June,can't wait ,fed up of carrying around another person

 

[caraline]

Cheers Sarah, oooh I do love tomato soup. I thought I wont be able to have that, because it's high in sugar.

Hi, it seems that advice varies depending where you are. i've just finished six bariatric awareness sessions and am just waiting for my op date and the team in Aberdeen advise clear liquids only for 2 weeks, then 2 weeks of pureed foods, 2 weeks of soft then by week 7 starting to phase in normal textures.

 

[caraline]

Yeah thats what I got told.

 

[sarah sculley]

I haven't puréed don't fancy that that's why I've stayed on soup x

 

[Bernadette Roberts]

You could make your own- it's really easy- fresh tomatoes, finely diced onion and I add a stock cube- blend it and it goes creamy! Good Luck x

I am just one week post-op and I am living on broth, milk and protein shakes, sometimes cups of tea, watered down orange juice and no added sugar squash. Hope that helps, haven't tried soup yet.
