Recommended Posts

I don't know what to eat. I've been craving Subway and salads and I know I can't yet. Need ideas

I am 3 weeks and on puree. So far my favorite is to throw a couple meatballs in the food processor with a little sauce and ricotta chees. I'm also making chicken salad in the food processor with some low fat mayo, some mustard and seasoning but getting tired of that. Can't wait to start soft food!

What did your Drs post-op instructions say - depending on your surgeon - the suggestions above may not be right

This is true. Every surgeon is different. I was on full liquids for two weeks then moved to soft/purée for three weeks before solid foods on the sixth week. I was sleeved 7/1.

I'm four weeks out. I was sleeved on 6/24 and i think i missed out on the puree and minced stage because i was afraid to try different foods. I just eat a scrambled egg for Breakfast with 8oz of Protein Shake (one scoop with milk is 41g of protein) all through the day is Greek yogurt from lite n fit, sf popsicles, and plenty of icy waters. I also brought sf applesauce, diced peaches n pears packed In Water. But for dinner i try to baked a small piece of salmon and a small sweet potato. Just try not to over do it. And go for plenty of walks.

At three weeks out I was on full liquids, "nothing that won't go through a straw" is what I was told.

I'm 3 weeks and on most regular foods. I eat chicken from my crock pot, meatballs, meatloaf, turkey burgers, cheeses, deli meats, veggie sausage with melted cheese, scrambles eggs with cheese and salsa, guacamole, etc..

Edit: I'm eating everything that was approved from my surgeon. He progressed me at my last check up :). I'd suggest to do what your surgeon says.

      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! 😞
