Your first week
The first and second week you will be in a liquid diet, using straw is recommended to avoid big gulps that may cause nausea or discomfort.
During the fist week clear liquids are recommended (water apple and grape juices, tree top, ocean spray and welch's are recommended)
From fourth day on, natural fruit juices (strained and gelatin can be added if well tolerated)
The largest volume take that your stomach can accept is 2 fl. Oz. At a time, let it rest for 2 hours before serving this quantity again. Have all the clear water that u can in between "meals". Miscalculations may lead to nausea.
Room temperature during first week is the most recommended, slightly cold gelatin is acceptable.
Take gelatin in small chunks and chew and dissolve.
Take care of wounds: clean daily bath using only water and soap, scrubbing only in the same direction of it, cover with gauze or band aid.
NEVER:
- Keep on eating if you are already satisfied.
-
Try to eat more than your stomach can handle.
Your second and third week
Keep in mind that you now have a new stomach, much smaller than a couple of weeks ago; the volume needed to fill your stomach is now 2 oz.
It is time to include variety and a few more consistent foods to your diet:
On your second week continue with clear liquids and gelatin and add:
Whole natural fruit juice, use synthetic sugar to sweeten.
- Pear and apple pure
- Soups (broth):
- Potato
- Tomato
- Lentil
- Vegetable
- Chicken
On your third week add:
- Chopped fruit (very small pieces)
- Whole Vegetable juices
- Whole Vegetable juices
At this time you should be able to handle correctly your new stomach capacity. But always remember to let it rest for 2 hours before repeating the serving of more consistent food or the 2 oz.
Measure, miscalculation may lead to nausea and stomach ache.
Food temperature:
Fruit juices are well tolerated cold (no exaggeration)
Warm soups.
The care of your wounds:
As a normal symptom of healing, itching will appear.
NEVER:
- Keep on eating if you are already satisfied.
-
Try to eat more than your stomach can handle.
