Eating restrictions



Recommended Posts

I am 1 week post op and was able to start my full liquids today. I was told I wouldn't be able to finish a container of yougurt or pudding but i was able to just fine. I don't know if some people can just eat more than others or if I should be concerned. It was also basically the only thing I've had today because I left my Water at home and had an early drs appt...so maybe I was a little extra hungry??? Anyway I'm just curious ..otherwise I'm loving this new look on life!

I wouldn't worry too much about it. When you start your dense Protein you will really be able to feel the difference with restriction.

You are still in full liquids which means that for the most part, that yogurt and pudding will go right through the sleeve. This, unlike real food that has to digest more, will move right along! I have been on full liquids for a week. And I had my first problem with "too much" yesterday. I had panera's potato and cheddar Soup (strained). I was taking small bites and sipping away thinking it would pass like the brothy soup... NOT. I was so full and felt awful until I finally used the bathroom. But as for yogurt, I can eat 6 oz no problem... because its liquid. I go on go soft/moist tomorrow. I've already got my smashed boiled egg ready for breakfast! Good luck!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
