Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  confused I have been reading some of the responses and I am confused. First, I know every doctor is different when it comes to pre and post surgical protocols. However, I am confused at how soon people can eat "normal" food. I have read where some people have eaten regular food as early as 3 weeks post op while others have had plans like my doctor's. My physician has me getting prepared for 6 wks of protein shakes, then 6 weeks of pureed foods (baby food) then starting week 13, I will be able to start enjoying "normal" food again with protein always being the first thing eaten. How soon did you begin eating normal food? I have to say food is on my mind as I am finishing day 2 of my liquid diet...5 days to go!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Yeah, everyone is different. I was moved to full liquids before coming home, pureed after about 7 days and soft food after 2-3 weeks. I have always heard that the sooner you try stuff, the sooner your pouch adapts. There are some surgeons who have patients eating "real" food before they leave the hospital. I would do what your surgeon suggests if you can, but man, that sounds tough.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | true indeed every surgeon is different. i think i was released on clear fluids. graduated to full on day 5. did one week on full and was asked to do puree by week 2 which didnt sit well with me at all. so i went back to full fluids for another week. then tried purees again week 3. i thnk "real food" was like week 5 or 6 i dont remember to be honest. but yes, i think just about every personon here had a different meal plan post op LOL.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I left the hospital on full liquids for 3 weeks - I have been on puree for the past 3 weeks and have 3 weeks more - I don't have to puree eggs, ground beef, cottage cheese type foods - I have used protein drinks for a lot of my protein - the protein pudding the cottage cheese a lot as well as yogurt or cream of wheat - I had watermelon today with the cottage cheese and just mushed it - I have used applesauce and small amts of baked potato and refried beans - guess it depends on where you have your surgery or your Dr was trained Judy
