Sharon B.

Thank you for your insights. My doctor never told me to stay away from carbs but in my post op book it says healthy carbs. I had sweet potatoes in soft diet stage and I do well with them. l am aware that they are the smallest portion on your plate. Also while grain bread in mentioned. idk when my stomach will let me but I believe there's a balance.

Thank you Viking beast. I admitted, I realized I jumped in too fast. I have had boiled egg on soft foods, so it must have been adding the Turkey sausage and diet bread. I admit, I could not eat even half of it. I am a carnivore, and was so excited to be able to eat meat again. I am also a sandwich person, so the thought of being able to make a small sandwich was enticing to me. Obviously, my new anatomy said no.

I am not an idiot. every program is different

Thank you all for the advice. I really appreciate it. I will progress slowly from now on. So excited to finally eat, at least, the diet food I had been eating pre surgery that I started out the gate too fast! Lol!

Hi everyone. This is my second day on full diet and I have been sick all day. I had Turkey sausage and boiled egg and the pepperidge farm oat light bread toasted. I tried to eat the protein first but I would take a small bite of the toast intermittently. Needless to say I could not finish it all. When I felt myself approaching full, I stopped. But shortly after, I started feeling a little nauseous and my stomach argued with me loudly. Was I doing to much with this attempt to eat a meal?

Oh, okay. That's a good thing! ?

NO. They were made from dry beans.

Exactly, what the nurse said. I pureed those beans in the food processor, so they were paste. I think it is gas also, but man, it's knocked me off my feet today! Thank you for your insight.

Hi all, I had gastric sleeve on 23 September 2021. I have had stomach pain all day. It is a pretty sharp cramp. Called my doctor's office and they said just take the mylanta and famotadine and see if it settles. I had beans last night, mashed in the food processor. could this be just bad gas pain? Mind you, I had plenty of gas last night from the beans, does this mean no more beans for me? that my stomach is rejecting this particular food. I have had canned refried beans and no pain, but yesterday I made a pot myself and put them in the food processor.

I know right! I go see my doctor for the first time after surgery tomorrow. I have had protein shakes, broth, some diluted and strained lobster bisque( just needed a little fat) stomach tolerated it okay. Gatorade and I wanted to put some matcha powder in my tea. idk if that will hurt or not. I have very little energy to exercise.

Hey, thanks! I'll check that out!?

Hi, that does sound yummy! I am in the process of trying to figure out which multivitamin to order. Either from bariatric pal or another site. I can't remember the name right now. hopefully once I start vitamins it will get better.

Today Mark's 1 week post op for me. The dietitian who saw me in the hospital marked 9-30-21, today, is when I could start full liquids. you should be right around that time also. I hope it gets better?

Hi, congrats on your surgery! I had my sleeve done on 9- 23-21, so we're about in the same time frame post op. Are you drinking your shakes? They should help. I ordered fit and lean powder from Amazon, actually way before I had my surgery. I mix 2tbs chocolate pb2 or PB fit with 8 oz of coconut milk or almond milk- unsweetened and some ice cubes in my ninja blender and it is filling. I also think there is alot of fiber in this particular powder so I experience a little more gas than usual. today is one week out for me and I tolerate the milk pretty good. my problem was drinking too big a sips of all my liquid. Good luck! surgery buddie!
