Some Good Food Choices



Recommended Posts

I am a day away from being 3 weeks post op. My Dr told me to try soft food and if they tolerate well I can try to bring in a different food ever 3 days.. I tested positive for the H. polyrid and I am on antibiotics for that. I really don't have an urge to eat. On a typical day in the morning I may have a Protein shake or oatmeal. lunch someone told me to try Wendy's chili. So I have. I may have a can of tuna. And at night I don't eat anything.

Do anyone have any food choices and help that will help me out. I am really sick and have a bad feeling in my stomach.

You need to eat small amounts throughout the day. My NUT told me to eat every 3 hours or so but very small meals (concentrating on protein). You could try cottage cheese, Greek yogurt (watch the sugar content though), Beans, Soup, soft boiled eggs, hummus, ground chicken or turkey). Be sure to drink plenty of Water or non-caloric drinks. Watch the oatmeal for sugar content too! You should be sure to eat at night even if you don't feel like it! Your stomach pains very likely could be from either the H Pylori or antibiotic. Hope you are doing better soon!

Thank you so much. I have 8 more days on the meds for the H. Polyrid and I will be finish.. I didn't start feeling bad until I started the meds. I figured I need to eat more but I'm afraid of eating the wrong thing. I think I'm trying to be careful verses sorry.. I will have to start eating more.. Thank you.

The three most important requirements after RNY gastric bypass surgery is to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fats into the energy that drive your body. Thus you lose weight. It is also important to get 30 minutes of walking in each day to maximize your weight loss.

This is my experience with the "Weight Loss" phase. I have included some recipes at the end of the article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
