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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
