One month post op salad dressings



Recommended Posts

I'm one month post op.. And I've had salad frm subway yesterday and today.. I added a little teriyaki sauce, honey mustard and sweet onion.. Was wondering if these dressing might harm my sleeve.. I feel no pain though.. I am worried and confused and my docs really money minded! He won't answer calls and charges alot each time I go there...

Well at a month did your doctor clear you for all food? If so , it should be fine.. Actually more people have more trouble with the actual salad

More than anything else!

He said I can hav soft food.. I can hav semi soft.. I can't eat fruits.. He said if I can eat it then its fine.. He's weird.. He barely answers.. He's the top professional in India so he's basically very proudy.. My surgery was great.. But after that I get no help.. Can u consult ur doctor please... I'm worried

I don't think you should worry.. Many people are cleared for all foods after a month. I would say that when you try a new food try only a little and see how it "feels" if you tolerate it well then it should by ok, your stomach at six weeks is pretty much healed (between 4 and 6 weeks) .

If you want to go easy then I would suggest not eating to many raw veggies for a couple more weeks though...

Doctors in India are real vague when it comes to post-op consults. If you had your surgery in India they usually give you the diet for the next two months. I am one month post-op too and eventhough i eat sprouts my doc told me to stay away from raw veggies like carrots. Only mushy veggies. Having said that if it dint hurt you're probably good. But try to stick to the doc's diet. Good luck!

I think the only thing you really need to worry about is the calorie / fat content of any dressings. Honey mustard is usually pretty high in both, for example. One of my absolute favorite finds has been the spritzer Wish Bone dressings, especially since I found they make a ranch one - love their spray dressings and extremely calorie friendly.

Check out the Bariatric Surgery Guidebook from Kaiser Fremont. If you don't have a plan from your Dr. I highly recommend it. I followed it without complications, got to goal in 9 months and have been at goal 15 months.

Pay particular attention to post-op eating instructions in Chapter 3 and Vitamin recommendations in Chapter 7.

Here is my doctors link to his nutrition page. There are pdf's that you can print that guide you through each post op phase and the recommended time for each phase. Hope it helps.

      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!

      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!!
