Recommended Posts

Thanks a lot for everyone that tried to help me sorry for not replying a lot sooner and that's because the time difference I am from the Middle East I've done my surgery in the Middle East 16 months ago it was a reversion from gastric band to VSG my doctor have seen me twice after my surgery he said" my job is to do your surgery and your job is to loose the weight" we here do not have any nutritionist that deal with WLS surgery I have no information on how to eat or what to do my doctor told me I can eat what ever I want he asked only not to eat and drink at the same time I'm 5 feet tall my starting weight was 193 I lost 23 pounds I'm a single mom and I work a full time job if anyone needs any more information about me please let me know

I'm not sure on the foods you guys eat there but I think I read that bread is always used or mostly. Stay away from those evil carbs. You can also up the calories to jump start your system. But mainly stay away from carbs and fatty sugar foods and that should work.

The number one rule is no bread or rice because it expands and fills your tummy up. Just eat lots of Proteins like meat or spinach!

As a generality, the sleeve gastrectomy diet plans are high in Protein while low in calories, fats and carbohydrates. • The average calorie allowance for the sleeve gastrectomy ranges from 800 to 1200 calories per day. Foods that will need to be decreased in your diet include high sugar foods, high carbohydrate foods (including bread and pasta), fats (such as butter), fatty meats, fried foods, whole milk products, ice cream, high calorie beverages (including regular soda and alcoholic beverages).

Ok you want to eat around;

60 grams of Protein a day

50 or lower carbs

Keep your fats low

And drink at least 64 oz of Water a day...

That's why you need to write everything down

You can download an app. To help you record your foods

I don't know if my stomic is small enough I feel that I eat a lot ( for example I can eat a 6 inch turkey breast sub from subway) is that amount normal or my stomic is too big?

Well your further out so it might be easier.. But just because you can doesn't mean you should...

Protein and veggies are the two things you should be eating...

After surgery I craved a tuna fish sub from subway. I would be lucky if I could eat 4 bites of one. bread isn't a good thing post op though.

      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! 😞
