8 week post op eating options



Recommended Posts

Hello I am 8 weeks post op tomorrow, and have been doing relatively well with the eating. I am a salad lover, and am so missing those foods. I am scared to start eating raw veggies and wonder how I should begin this process? I am also dying to have some oatmeal but am hesitant. Any suggestions are welcome.

oatmeal was something I was told to wait a while for, because it can get stuck. You also have to be really careful with the sugar content. As for salad, I was cleared to eat it within three months but my nut advised against it. Basically she advised against any food or drink that isn't Protein or Water. I was told to be especially wary of fibrous fruits and veggies, and the skins and seeds of fruits and veggies. I had my first banana around 3 months and could only eat about a quarter of it, and it made me so full and sat so strangely in my stomach that I couldn't get the Protein and Water that I needed that day.

I guess what I'm saying is be really, really careful. I know it's frustrating to be stuck eating the same things but this won't last forever and you need to make sure you have room for your 60+ grams of protein and 64 ounces of water. Gotta give your body what it desperately needs to heal and keep itself running during this huge biological shift.

Did your nut give you a list of fruits and veggies that you can eat?

      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! 😞
