user3760092195356 :
Okay I’m gonna be brutally real but also say you got this. I’m an Autistic ARFID adult who went through it. The waiting room and pre-op was hell. I’d ask if they have a separate space you guys can be in. I HATED the gown and socks. If he has clothing texture sensitivity ask how late he can change into the surgery clothes. I wore my own socks under the surgery socks. For post op I felt like I was suffocating with the swelling. I used lots of deep pressure to regulate and distracting movies and honestly sleep. My recovery buddy kept me sane because my regulation was tough and I’m a grown adult. It does tend to be much tougher for adults though so my experience won’t be Titans or even most adults. In being very real I hit the point that protein shakes, bananas, jello, ice pops, applesauce and all the normal suggestions weren’t safe and were too much. They didn’t taste normal and the pain wasn’t worth trying to swallow anything. I lost 25lb in just 2.5 weeks from it. I’d ask about an ARFID speciality nutritionists if you don’t have one already. I recommend just approaching the idea with the doctors of what’s a safe weight to lose for Titan if it happens, at what point you need to have medical intervention, and what that invention needs to be. That way you have a plan for the worst if it happens and you aren’t scrambling for solutions in the moment. Kids don’t tend to have as much pain as adults with this surgery but numbing spray or liquid lidocaine (if he can gargle and spit) made the pain more manageable for me to eat but didn’t help my textures. Ask your doctor if you feel he may need that. Hydration will matter more than food for healing. I understand how important calories are in ARFID when your eating is heavily restricted though and even with hydration weight loss is a concern. Everyone heals different and no autistic arfid Individual is the same. The best I got is talk to your doctors about what’s safe and have a plan for if you can’t get food in him. Additionally this will pass. It may pass like a kidney stone but it WILL pass. This is one period in his life and yours and it’s much easier as a kid. You got this momma. No matter how you feel today… :)

Sorry if any of these are UK specific but you could try mashed potatoes, custard (easy to put food colouring in) jelly, rice pudding, skips (crisps that kinda dissolve), spaghetti hoops. Good luck 🩷🩷

Kate farms nutrition shakes are really good. I personally am autistic with arfid and had to drink ensure for a while and actually quite enjoyed the taste if it was in the refrigerator for a while before I drank it. but I've heard that some arfid people have issues with ensure and they all recommend Kate farms

Ice cream, smoothies, milkshakes!! Remember that his healing is not a permanent state. Give yourself grace. Give him grace. Is he loses weight or doesn’t eat as much that is OKAY and TEMPORARY! Remember; you can’t care for him without caring for you 💛💛💛

Broth? Yummy juices, smoothies? Chocolate milk? The core power chocolate protein milks just taste like milk to me, not like protein powder. The little baby food pouches? Maybe you could try a few of these things beforehand. I got my tonsils out as an adult :)

hydration is sooo important, whatever he wants to drink is a good idea. anything cold will also be good for him (popsicles, ice-cream etc)

Get the meal replacement shakes and turn them into smoothies and milk shakes with fruit if he will tolerate it. I sneak veggies into mine like spinach.

This is not food related but my son would never take medicine so suppository pain relief is a suggestion 😬
