Deviled ham? Other meats during phase 2?



Recommended Posts

Hi. I am 10 days post-op and have just now moved into the purée part of the diet. Have any of you had/tried deviled ham in this phase? My husband says he doesn't think it is a good idea due to the fat content, but I am craving meat Protein all the time.

I figure I should worry about high fat content later on when I can eat more things.

If you were able to incorporate meat or fish into your phase 2 of your diet, I would love to hear how you did it.

Thanks.

I think your husband is correct. Most plans do not allow high fat food, especially that early.

If I were you I would not eat that because high fat foods can make you sick.

Your husband is correct that you shouldn't be eating that at all.

First of all you should be eating chicken, turkey, fish and eggs at this stage no beef or pork yet.

Phase 2 if I remember is puréed foods or maybe soft foods. Your stomach or pouch can not handle anything else then that.

If you check with your nutritionist I can almost guarantee that that's what they tell you.

If you got a instructional book read it carefully to know what to eat at each stage of the program if you want to be successful.

I ate canned chicken and tuna with a bit of light miracle whip. Put it in a mini food processor, so it was pureed and smooth. meat Protein that is on most plans. eggs were also a go to food during this stage.

All the above answers are correct according to my diet plan - fat and sugar are off the list and can cause a serious side effect called "dumping". In addition, I was not allowed red meat (ham, pork, beef, lamb) until recently (I am 3 months out).

Scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, fish and chicken are the go-to foods for now. We're limited because our new digestive tract is still healing - don't mess up your surgery over a can of deviled ham after all you've gone through.

I tried some lean beef today... two bites and that was it. Came back up. Soooo I would definitely stick to the tuna and chicken. I still haven't tried chicken yet but I snack on tuna all day. :)

I did well on tuna salad with light mayo and egg beaters. pureed chicken was good too. i agree with everyone else that you should stay away from any other meat until you heal more.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
