What Are You Guying Eating At 2 Months



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 months out on June 27. I'm running out if ideas of what to eat next. Do u guys have a website or something that I can refer to as far as what to eat at what stage? For example when can I eat peanuts, lettuce, etc. All I've been eating us like Beans, lentils, baby shrimps n I've tried imitation crab with clamato. Any ideas would help. Thanks

At two months out, I can have whatever I want. In fact, tonight I made steak for fathers day and ate about 3 oz of it. Its the first red meat I have had since surgery. No problems here.

ANYTHING I WANT. Much smaller amounts, and healthier ingredients when I can.... but I am a food lover and I will always be. I enjoy variation and quality not quantity. Open yourself up a bit.... you have to live with this sleeve for the rest of your life. If you get too tired of the mundane you may find yourself rebelling in a very bad way later. That's just my rational. Try the healthier versions of foods you loved before.

Im 3 months out and I can eat anthing. I eat every 2 hours. So I could eat a whole stake thruout the day. Then eat a fish the next day and a whole chicken breast the next. I also eat yoplait greek yogurt and drink Water with a wedge of yellow lemon. pretzels for salty treats and sugar free chocolate for sweets. Just concentrat on your Protein and Water intake.

I'm almost 2 months out and I eat pretty good variety. I always focus on Protein first, but I still stay away from beef. They told me for one year, but I might try it out by 6 months!!

I am loving turkey. They have ground turkey already seasoned for tacos!!

Yum

I'm irritated that my diet is so restrictive, but many others have the green light for so many foods my NUT says are off limits! What gives?

Almost 2 months and realised that I can eat almost anything.

Noticed that I had a pre-op habit of drinking Water while eating, and also noticed that I am unable to eat and drink at the same time post-op.

I just get heartburn and heaps of acid reflux (not sure if their the same thing) if I were to eat and drink together. Actually I also get acid reflux even when I'm not eating... but that's a separate issue all together.

So ... as long as I remind myself not to drink while I eat .... almost anything goes down well.... just in smaller portions. Also learnt to put my utensils down while chewing, cos it takes longer to chew now... and hold the utensils makes me wanna put more food in my mouth. Once I'm done, I take small sips of Water. Water after the meal still produces the bloated feeling, but it's a habit I'm trying to break or at least cut down.

it all really depends on your pre op and how your surgeon performed your surgery. what does your suture line require. Some suture lines are stronger than others therefore diets vary.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
