6 weeks post op ?'s.



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm 6 weeks post- op & am just curious as to what others are eating.

I ditched the damn Protein Shakes & am now eating meat. Chewed verrry, verry slowly, lol. I eat chicken, & shrimp mostly. But I'm still struggling with staying away from carbs. I don't eat any kind bread. However, I find myself eating a bit of Mac & cheese off of my toddlers plates. Im a Pasta girl clearly. Smh.

What are you guys eating?

I stay away from carbs as much as possible...

I used smashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes... you can even use it for a "pizza" crust.

I have spaghetti squash, which is super yummy with sauce and some meatballs...

you learn to substitute to get rid of as many carbs as possible and you will be much better off in the long run... once your body purges it, it should be easier to avoid the temptation... but if you have a little bit on a regular basis it will add up... on occasion everyone NEEDS ;) some carbs tho....

good luck to you...

i'm 6 weeks out now too and am eating meat. I've found that I really enjoy fish after surgery. I can eat about 3.5oz of it and a little bit of green Beans and I am full.

For Snacks I found these 4oz chicken salad packs at costco, cheese stick, yogurt, or a handful of cashews.

Re-sleeve? Do you mind me asking why you were sleeved a second time?

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
