Really is there a such thing?

Yes I have it. They have it to me when they sent me home from the hospital.

Don't think you can have salads at 5 weeks yet... Chicken' date=' steamed veggies, very small amounts of mashed potatoes, lean beef, Soup, chili...depends on what stage you're in[/quote']

I heard it's best to stay away from starchy food

It is, but depending on your tolerance you may be able to have a little bit.

I am 5 weeks and 4 days post operation. I went out to eat with my girlies. I had scrambled egg, cottage cheese and a bite of Ham. I had Water with lemon to drink. I took my time had great conversation and enjoyed myself:)

Marla, I always eat off the kids' menu. Chili's is the best bc you get 4oz grilled chicken and steamed broccoli for under $5!! I've never been out of the country, but you have a great idea there with seafood.

I studied abroad 2 years ago. food in Europe is all fresh no preservatives and south better for you. In Spain on the coast they serve a lot of sea food so you should be fine. Just avoid the fried foods( not like ours but still fried ) and sweets and you'll so fine. Are you traveling anywhere else?

I went out at five weeks and had a cup of beer cheese Soup and a bit of shrimp. I am now only six weeks but my surgeon upgraded my diet and I can now have regular food. I just know I need to be careful so I still will probably stick to the easy foods...at least for awhile..

I'm not even going to ask for a card. Most of the stuff on the kids menu isn't healthy at all. I'd rather just order what I want and have leftovers for a few days.

Red lobster does have kids crab legs!!! But yeah, even my 8 year old usually orders off the adult menu cuz he doesn't want a cheeseburger or chicken nuggets....

you are so right because I'm from germany and I didn't even put on any weight until I move to the States.

      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!!

      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! 😞
