How far out from surgery are you?

After RNY surgery, I completely lost my appetite. I found it difficult to eat hard foods, such as steak and chicken. I found that eating softer foods such as chili and Soups worked well for me. I have included a few recipes in the following article.

I had an appetite the first two weeks after surgery, now none. I get a little hungry late in the day so I have been having soft protein. I'm just now at four weeks and I'm so happy JamesMaurek has posted his stuff because he is accurate with his information, always, and I remember reading some of his recipes before surgery and thinking they sounded like things I would like post op. At five months out these should work fine for you. James, I'm copying all of your recipes this time.

I'm 5 months out and a very good friend of mine (who had the sleeve done over a year ago) got me to eat a piece of chicken tonight for supper

I am five months out and really struggle with foods to eat. My smell has been heightened since surgery so if I cook something, the smell will get to me. I eat all types of soup and have recently started trying different meats. Usually after a couple of bites I don't want it. What I don't need as much is what settles well on my stomach. So I still depend on protein shakes.

At that time I was living off Progresso soups with 8grams or higher protein, cottage cheese, fruit and Dannon 80's yogurt.

My whole life before the surgery I hated mashed potatoes, now I cant get enough of them.

I am 4.5 months out and am still struggling with what to eat. I'm still eating chili almost daily. I try to make homemade but often have to resort to a can. Fortunately the can lasts for 3 meals! I have been doing meats and stews in the crockpot that I tolerate fairly well, like salsa chicken or beef stew. I can't do chicken anymore unless it's completely soft. Scrambled eggs are a big part of my diet as well. I'm tending to stick with foods that can be easily measured in a 1/4 cup scoop.

As long as your blood levels are coming back in good range and you feel well, then I think it's OK, it won't be forever. My thought is let's lose as much as we can while we don't feel like eating!
