My program won't allow any salad for at least 6 months. I can eat small amounts of pretty much everything by 4 months though. Diversify your diet to get better nutrition. Contact your Nut for suggested foods. Check Eggface's blog for great recipes. Don't be scared to eat--just chew thoroughly and eat very small amounts at a time with adequate time in between and you'll see there is nothing to fear.

Great job! That amazing weight loss! Now my doc does not allow salad for quite a while either - but I know different doctors and nutritionists have different plans. I am sure your nutritionist has some ideas if you give her a call. For the first 6 months our big deal is to make sure we get in our 65grams of Protein and 65 ounces of water/liquid.

But here are some things I think you can try. Frittatas and scrambled eggs - you could throw in some diced ham and cheese - maybe turkey sausage. It is getting colder - so maybe time for some chili? Saw a recipe for pizza with a califlower crust on Pinterest that someone on here tried and said was great. I made some eggplant parm last night with roasted eggplant, parm cheese, spaghetti sauce, and eggs. It was great. Steamed fish.

Scroll through the recipe section..I posted some recipes there for stuff like crockpot carnitas, chicken quinoa salad, crockpot chicken and mushrooms, Mediterranean chicken, baked tilapia, etc. all good stuff and loaded with Protein and nutrients.

Try everything that is allowed by your docs plan. Try small bites at first and go from there. I would also say that things you did not like post op you may find you LOVE now. I was not big on Asian food pre op, but there was a time I felt like I could not get enough of it

      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! 😞
