Will you share your ideas on food choices?



Recommended Posts

I am allowed to try solid foods as of today. I am still a bit nauseous and belching a lot and my since of smell is crazy.

But for the most part I feel pretty great.

However, I am starting to get hungry. I would like the choices I make to really count. Flavor that is.

So, does anyone have any ideas they would like to share? Breakfast? lunch? dinner?

I really wish there was a book out there for us like Weight Watchers has.

Meal ideas for each stage.

I didnt have "stages" or phases of refeeding. Or if I did, the doctor didn't call them that.

I have this cookbook which suggests the timing after surgery for each recipe:

recipes for Life After Weight-Loss Surgery: Delicious Dishes for Nourishing the New You

by Margaret Furtado M.S. R.D. L.D.N. (Author), Lynette Schultz L.R.C.P. R.T. (Author)

This one does about the same:

Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery: Over 140 Delicious Low-Fat High-Protein

recipes to Enjoy in the Weeks, Months and Years After Surgery

by Patt Levine (Author), Michele Bontmpo-Saray (Author), William B. Inabnet (Author), Meredith Urban-Skuros (Author)

Both are on Amazon.com

Honestly, I used the one I have for a little bit, then went out to the internet and searched low calorie or low carb recipes and flew from there.

Hope this is helpful.

I'm Loving Chobani Greek yogurt, it is so yummy and has 14 grams of Protein, that has been my break most mornings.

lunch homemade veggie Soup, 1 large can of veg-all and V-8 low sodium simmer, then I just started adding ms dash seasonings turned out so good.

I was allowed to have tuna wed and it was so good

oatmeal, eggs etc coming off liquids, real food taste so wonderful!

I have been eating lots of greek yogurt. Yoplait makes a good one with 14 grams of Protein. I also baked some tilipa last night. Any white fish doesn't need pureed and I added some lemon pepper seasoning. I am planning on having refried Beans this week and cottage cheese and of course mashed potatoes. I have been trying to load up on Protein and need to pull out my eating well after weight lost surgery cookbook. I didn't look at it through the clear/full liquid stages.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
