So, in order not to avoid nausea & vomiting I have to take 1 bite of food every 30 minutes. I mean I'm only on the mushy foods stage, but damn it takes 3 hours to eat half of a potato :(

I found when I was still healing my food had to be really wet. Maybe some gravy might help it go down better.

Since my surgery I have found that foods I loved in the past, tuna and chicken, just don't agree with me anymore. If your looking for something non-sweet how bout refried Beans?

Yes, that is not uncommon and it gets better. However, you shouldn't be eating a potato, that is a waste of your precious little appetite. Replace that potato with cottage cheese or hummus or greek yogurt or some other Protein. You need to focus on protein, not carbs. You will feel much better and it will get you in a habit that is going to last the rest of your life...protein first, then vegs, then carbs last.

They're put on everyone's plan but your dr should have told you to avoid them if possible. My dr said it should be my last resort because potatoes have very little nutritional value.

I wasn't told to avoid potatoes during mushies. But once I progressed to the next stage they came back off the list.

      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! 😞
