4 months post-op diet help



Recommended Posts

I'm a few days away from being 4 months post-op and I think I'm doing pretty well. I'm just seriously lacking in the food variety department. I could count the things I only eat on one hand: Beans, cat fish, chobani, weight watchers string cheese, and egg beaters (egg substitute). Wow I really was able to count them all on one hand! haha..so I'm in need of some guidance as to what kind of things to eat so I could mix things up a bit because I am sick of always eating either beans of cat fish for dinner. I know that Kaiser guidelines said I could have ground beef by now but I am really afraid of not losing my weight so I'm staying away from the heavy meats. Also, has anyone else been able to eat a little more than they did initially after the surgery? I'm able to eat a little more than like a month after the surgery I just worry it's because I'm stretching out my stomach. My biggest fear has become stretching out my stomach. Anyone else feel this way?

Are you able to tolerate cottage cheese? I have Kaiser too, and they say that after 4 months, you should be back on the pre-op diet. What about scrambled eggs? Omelettes? Hard boiled? (I know, I am sick of eggs too. My surgery is next Wed). tuna salad? Are you able to tolerate chicken?

By one month out, my doctor said I could eat anything that was nutritious--not to mean that you should countermand your doctor's orders, but to let you know you shouldn't be afraid to eat other foods such as those jazzy suggests.

I've tried chicken and it's completely fine with me. I never feel sick or have any pain from it. I want to do tuna salad which I love, but my whole issue lies in the mayo part of it because I want to stay away from the high fatty foods completely. I am so over eggs. haha I think that was the first solid-ish food I ate and I'm sick of it now. haha I have actually never tried cottage cheese before even bore the surgery. I might try it now to see how my stomach reacts to it.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
