I think that would be a question for your nutritionist. That being said, I eat turkey bacon on occasion but turkey sausage still has a lot of fat in it. I don’t eat hot dogs so I have no advice on that at all.

I swear I ate. I swear it! The salad was Taylor Farms Roasted Garlic salad kit. It didn’t sit well and I wish it had because the garlic smelled so good!

I actually cooked it in the air fryer in a personal pizza pan elevated on a rack. I might try again just to be sure.

The first is imitation crab meat salad made with light Mayo, gochujang, fish sauce, and soy sauce and tossed with orange peppers and kimchi. I ended up eating it over 2 meals and my kids pilfered my leftover nori from the first meal. The second is a weird tart I made from fat free vegetarian refried black beans, cheddar cheese, tomatoes and an extreme wellness spinach tortilla. Ended up eating 3 slices and the rest might go in the garbage because the bottom didn’t crisp and I’m not about to eat soggy tart. 😬

I had to get iron while in the hospital post op after my RNY revision because I was so anemic. Took about 2 or so hours for the infusion. If you’re super sensitive to smells you might be able to smell the iron through the bag.... or from my IV infiltrating. Not sure which. 🤷‍♀️

My sleeve was 12/17/2019. My RNY revision was 8/11/2020 due to severe GERD and hiatal hernia that caused intractable hiccups. Seeing as I was only about 8 months out from my original surgery, I’m still losing weight.

I had my RNY revision for severe GERD (was causing intractable hiccups) on 8/11 and eat a pretty normal diet now. My portion sizes are definitely small but my sleeve was made into a pouch so I expected that. Very early on I did dump on some weird things though- whey protein blends that aren’t 100% isolate or collagen (not sure of plant-based ones), a couple broth based soups can’t remember which ones, and jimmy dean egg white scramble cups which has made me leery of trying real eggs. All the pain I had post-op is pretty much resolved aside from some random shoulder pain if I skip meals. (Surgeon was super confused! 🤷‍♀️) As to the alcohol, I don’t drink so no clue what that’s like or when would be ok.

Mmmm kimchi and spinach.

Made a Gardien ultimate burger with mustard, dill relish, spicy banana peppers, and tomatoes with homemade refried fat free vegan cheesy (nutritional yeast) black beans. The burger was just okay. Should’ve cooked for a shorter time. Loved the refried beans. Based beans off this but added tons of garlic and a small diced yellow onion and 2 cups of vegetable broth instead of water. https://simpleveganblog.com/fat-free-vegan-refried-beans/ Also ended up eating most of the leftovers later on but still ended up scraping some in the trash.

You must’ve missed the first reply which was a picture of what the OP actually ate- an egg muffin or baked egg cup. Lots of people missed that fact because the picture wasn’t in the original post. Turns out you also missed the OP’s reply that she felt terrible after and was in pain but also planned on texting the surgeon to discuss what happened. Berating her and telling her she needs therapy isn’t going to help, just like the enabling won’t. Compassion and empathy go a long way. We were all new to post-op at one point and nothing you can do will truly prepare you for it. Take a deep breath and realize the OP learned a valuable lesson from this.

I thought I was the only one to bruise like I did. It was so bad I took a picture of it. Half my stomach and wrapped halfway around my back! Took a little over 3 1/2 weeks to finally go away from surgery day.

Try blending and straining chicken soup made with bone broth. You can try collagen or egg powders instead of whey protein powders so see if the change in base helps at all. Above all, if the sweet stuff is making you sick or gag then don’t try and force it down, it won’t do you any good.

I drove to my 1 week post-op appointment. Just gauge it by how you feel and go from there. If you don’t feel comfortable doing it, then don’t.

I followed this recipe using fat free cream cheese and accidentally added a whole scoop of protein powder so added 2 Tbsp of skim milk. I also added the vanilla and a smidge of lemon crystal light along with a 1/4 cup frozen berries. https://theproteinchef.co/low-carb-microwave-cheesecake-recipe-in-2-minutes/

Breakfast was cottage cheese with tomatoes, banana peppers, and kimchi Lunch was lightlife Italian sausage. They were good but a little spicier than I thought they’d be. Ended up eating another couple slices later on. Snack was supposed to be a take on kimbap but I think I’ll try again with something other than yogurt because it made it weird for me. My kids ended up eating all but one of the pieces. (Dipping sauce was a mixture of garlic chili sauce, soy sauce, a smidge of honey, sesame oil and oyster sauce.) Dinner was microwave protein cheesecake with berries mixed in. I’m saving the other half for breakfast as it’s 2 servings for the recipe.

I like it but don’t buy it often. I think it tastes like a fresher version of feta. It’s more bright and less briny tasting. Used a lot for street corn and street tacos. Mmm

They gave me my daily allergy medicine post op day 2 in the hospital in pill form so I’ve been taking it every day since. 🤷‍♀️

Hair goes through 3 phases is growth, one of those is shedding. You’re more likely to shed hair as a body preservation after traumatic events, like surgery. Personally, I didn’t notice any hair loss with my first surgery but I completely shaved my head 3 months after I had surgery. 🤷‍♀️ However, I am noticing a lot of new hair growth now that I’m almost 2 months out from my second surgery.

Breakfast was a split in half and toasted whole grain naan round topped with cream cheese and sautéed tomatoes, onions, and green pepper. Ate one half for breakfast and the other later as snack. Including a picture of the naan rounds serving size says 2 for 170 calories but they really remind me of sandwich thins. Dinner was sautéed kimchi, finely diced baby bellas, tomatoes, banana peppers, and spiced marinated (curry, onion, garlic, turmeric powders, soy sauce, and unseasoned rice vinegar) tofu. Ended up eating it all.

I had my VSG in December of 2019. I had a VSG to RNY in August 2020 because of severe GERD that was so bad I was on 3 different acid reducers and a bland diet. I didn’t have reflux issues before my VSG outside of pregnancy. However a pretty bad hiatal hernia with the GERD lead me to choose revision. Two months out, I’m glad I chose the revision because my throat isn’t constantly sore and I’m not chewing 8-12 tums a day anymore.

Have you tried tricking your brain with some broth to see if that helps? I had this problem with my VSG and found I could only keep down coffee and grape Powerade zero until I was put on another acid reducer then could do tea and crystal lights again. Hopefully it goes away soon!

I feel like your NUT should have stressed the weight loss more than just making you feel bad at your last appointment. That said, I totally agree with Hop, low car, low fat, high protein shakes and meals with lots of water will hopefully get you there.

So for special occasions we get the fancy donuts from them bakery in town that has been around for 80+ years. My oldest turned 15 this month so donuts it was. I’m not regretting my life choices to eat a donut because I have never been a donut fan. But before surgery I’d have eaten the whole thing. (Same donut next to it for comparison.)

I was a fan of the Syntrax Nectars and Matrix formulas. Try one of the BariatricPal soup based ones or their protein drinks as well. They’ve really helped on days where I didn’t want another protein shake.

Wasa crisps with jarred marinara, sautéed onions, green peppers, cherry tomatoes, and garlic, and then topped with cheese before air frying for 3-4 minutes. My leftovers were claimed by a kiddo.
