Questions about life affer the surgey



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone of you find it difficult to lose weight when you try everything to eat no more than 1500 calories daily? Since my surgery I can not eat bread, think meat like steak, diet soda, etc. so it seems like I am eating mostly salads, grill chicken etc...things that will not make feel like I am choking. Is feeling like you are choking normal even when you chew the food up to 40 times? Does anyone have any suggestions on healthier alternatives of foods/meals to have? Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

Are you post op? How much fill do you have. There is nothing I cannot eat with proper chewing.

Do you eat fish? Cod and halibut are good as is salmon and tuna. Other cooked vegetables should work... squash, green Beans, lima Beans, collard greens, etc. chicken salad with LF mayo or greek yogurt.

I you are choking on everything you need to call your doctor for a consult and possible unfill.

Good Luck!

I went onto pinterest and found a ton of recipies using chix and fish with veggies etc. Type in lap band recipies, egg recipies, grilled chicken recipies and fish recipies in the search field and you will get a ton of great ideas.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
