Eating Ramen for a snack one month post op?



Recommended Posts

They good?

Yeah! they taste like slim Jim's (meat sticks)

There is a deal at Bariatric Choice (the free shipping is done though unless you order $49)

For 10 dollars for 30 dollars worth of stuff.

Don't buy the Protein Cookies though!! They are too good :P

You might get more replies in the PRE-Operation Gastric Sleeve Surgery (VSG) Questions & Answers or food & Nutrition forums. Your question was posted in Gastric Sleeve Surgery (VSG) Success Stories.

At four weeks, the surgery is still healing. Eating foods or quantities not on your program increases the risk of surgical failure, such as a leak. Each Dr. sets a program based on their experience, how they cut the sleeve, the aftercare program they are using (which, in my opinion, is why many Dr.s in Mexico have a more stringent plan following surgery - you probably aren't going back for after care).

In addition, most people can't eat much in the first months post-op. Choosing nutritionally void foods doesn't leave room for the important nutrients provided by food on the post-op plan.

I would consider counseling to help learn to deal with cravings. At some point, the sleeve can only take us so far.

Best wishes on your journey,

Lynda

laura - I see your 4 boxes of pepper Ostrim and raise you 5 boxes of teriyaki Ostrim. Yup, the motherlode just came in yesterday. :) that stuff is gold for VSG snackers. I bet kristi made like 5000 dollars in rewards from all our VST orders last week !! ;)

I tell you fiddle, my husband just came home from work and ate one for the first time and said "awesome snack for mountain biking!"

I guess he's tired of stealing my premier shakes for riding!! 0_o

A note to the OP on Ramen - watch out for the high fat and sodium in those. They are somewhat good for tight budgets if you cannot afford anything else, but if you can, there are much better nutritional choices from low carb Protein Bars to small amounts cheese to apples with nut butter to Ostrim sticks to beef Jerky to...

Slider food not the way to start your new life. Slider food is a door way drug I would leave that door shut.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
