Post Operative Eating Plan?



Recommended Posts

Dear All,

I wonder if anyone could help me please?

I'm looking for a post-operative eating plan, which might also give indicative vitamin/mineral requirements, if someone has one they can attach or wouldn't mind documenting?

I'm getting a wee bit confused over the Proteins v's good carbs, bad carbs and how much I'm supposed to be eating. I'm 'supposed' to be receiving 'something' from the hospital, but it hasn't arrived yet so isn't leaving me a lot of time to sort things out.

I read a lot on here about people using trackers and the like, but I'm rubbish at that type of stuff. Plus I refuse to get a smart phone! (I am a luddite and proud!) :)

So far, I have everything ready for the first 4 weeks, but after that? No clue.

If anyone could provide me with any ideas or even point to a decent book that documents all this stuff, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks and hope to hear from you!

Revs

      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! 😞
