I know another person started a Canadian thread in specific surgery area..but another thread may be helpful...as there are vaying choices...and this is a great place to meet our close neighbours.. btw my name is Yvette...I recently moved from BC to AB...the frustrations of waitlist is undescribable esp after 5 yrs. Paying myself now..heading to Mexico on Tuesday... am nervous and excited....

Its dehydrating ya know...snf i have to have creamer n sugar with...i survived 33 yrs w/o coffee..i think i can go very casual with it...judt to use up my kerig pkgs... but in no hurry...maybe 6 months when i can eat normal again...lol

Hi jary..i also had gastric bypass on the 26th...stomach still swollen with gas...bu think i saw calve muscles this am...omg!! Lol.. hows your diet going??? I went shopping for soups...yogurts...etc yesterday...90$ lol.. but its nice to know all that food is going to last me weeks!! As i can only eat small portions at a time

Yikes...i love wendys chili...but dont think you want to introduce any spicy foods at this point....of course you would have to puree it...but thinking the sodium content is too high as well...you have to slowww down hon...im anxious too to have reg meals but think of this 6 month period of changing your lifestyle....not sabbotaging yourself.....you can refrain!!!

Would love those recipes....pls send to sillyolme1@hotmail.com...tysm

Lol....well its now 9 day post op..lower abd still gassy...wth...he really filled me up huh? Lol...im on week 2 diet so hoping more food eill help get this out. Its tolerable..im just wanting to weigh myself...lol...actuslly not anxious to do that any time soon...not sure why....guess i dont want to be disapppointed..lol.

When was your surgery? I read someones nut told her 600 to 800 cal....remember low sugar...low fat..and watch that sodium!! Hopefully you are focusing on your milk (calcium) intake...protein intake (60g to 80g) daily...if you aee beyond 2nd week soft foods cottage cheeses...eggs etc.... remember too eat small portions 5x... 6x a day trying to get in the above and tsking your multivitamins or eating to get other vits and minerals

Tysm for that info!!

Congrats to both of you!!!

Soups..pureed..haha...milk...milk/protein smoothies...be careful with sugar content...puddings low fat...low sugar...theres more foods than you realize..these are plenty...just pick new flavors and 7vdays will be gone soft foods next week...for both of us....i am 8 days post op..week 2 post op diet...nice for a change ..im enjoying the freezer chocolate low fat low sugar pudding... the jellonpudfing in a box...and have you tried isoflex protein shakes..a little expensive but one smsll box will feed me 3x...i think...

Yikes tuna already...soft fish at day 28 or 4 weeks out....you should be on milk yogurt and protein shakes and ice chips help alot with hydration... I see many people on the forum eating foods wayyy to soon...and like you having problems...soft foods 3rd week out...cottage cheese...mashed...mushy potatoes etc

3 days out?? You shouldnt have weighed yourself yet...lol.. remember you are carrying gases and saline solution sobits going to take a week or so to get back to nirmal...is your drain even removed?? Haha... hon your just a little too anxiiys and excited...dont worry follow the diet and youll get tgere...congrats on your new life...os...cont liquids clear for another week ...wait 8 dats pist op bf introducing milk..yigurt and protrin...remember your innards are healing...and thats gonna take many weeks!!

I just bought some...in second week ofvpost op diet...ibused my vitamixer to whip up the broccoli chunks!!! Vitamixer best investment ever!! Im sure reg blender or magic bullet will work too...if not strain

Hi!! Im day 8 rny postop. My swelling..gases still around...i have NOT weighed myself yet..lol...i lost 15 lbs preop...so was 245 lbs at surgery..im sure i gained 20 or 30 lbs with the saline and gases used for surgery...lol...i couldnt believe how heavy i was....i almost have my ankles and calves back to "normal"...but stomach lower is til taught and blahhh.... congrats on your weight loss..

Try the deli in super market...i just bought some fresh stuff at sobeys...but vitamixed it more as it was creamy broccoli and cheddar..i also bought mushroom soup mix in pkgs may have to add more milk as sodiom highish 36% di. But i can only have about 3 tbsp at a time anyways...i have a vitsmixer and can make my own soups..mi premade a whole bunch preop and froze them in ice cube trays... i just want variety now..lol..have you tried making your own protein smoothies ??

Cool...well not...but im excited for you!! Congrats!! How much have you lost...when was your surgery??

Yup..im 8 days post op...guess they really filled us with air to do the surgery...lol...i finally have calves and ankles...well pretty much..im sure theres still some swelling...my lower bib is still taught and uncomfortable...ugh im thinking a few more days??? A week more at tops...cant wait to weigh myself...but waiting to get rid of this excess bf weighing ....

You should wait til week two to start shajes honey....continue ice chips water...jello gatorade until 8th day post op then shakes yogurt..milk 2nd week...its a very slow intro to foods

Ice chips are perfect...hopefully u gave a fridge like mine and is accessible all day long...as for milk dont forget yogurt and soups..with milk count towards your required milk ..calcium intake...speaking if i need tilo go pour me a 4 oz..all i can do and will take me 10 mins to drink it...well last night anyhow. I just moved to second week phase...milks and protein drinks...soups
