I was wondering if some of you can give me some ideas on what's good to eat weeks then months after surgery. I was reading the diet plan that was given to me and it suggested having a banana for breakfast. A banana has 14 grams of sugar! I will get dumping syndrome if I consume that! Please help me with some ideas! Thanks so much.

Scrambled/ hard boiled egg, cream of wheat, lite Greek yogurt, applesauce. I'm only a week post op still on Clear liquids. But those were examples I was given

There are so many things you can eat. My plan says protein first - then produce. No bread, pasta or rice. I can have omelets, crustless quiche muffins, Greek yogurt (watch sugar), protein smoothies (watch sugar), scrambled eggs, fruits, veggies, lean meats, tuna, salmon, baked fish, etc. The possibilities are endless. A banana would not be a good choice. You need to concentrate on protein.

You really won't feel very hungry for a few months, but by your first month some easy digestible foods are Yogurt, scrambled eggs, shredded chicken, turkey with a broth (moist is the easiest to eat), peanut butter, protein shakes, sugar free pudding, sugar free jello. You basically will work on eating protein and very little 2-3 ounces will fill you, I know it sounds crazy, but I am a year post mop and 4 ounces of chicken fills me up. Also remember natural sugars versus processed sugar foods are very different. I haven't had bananas yet. Remember the majority of weight you lose will be during the first 5-6 months and the. It really starts to slow down, so enjoy the not feeling hungry and just focus on proteins, and keeping hydrated. I live on chickens, Powerade zero and coffee

Awesome! Thank you!

@autumnrileyarnold.... Did you ask why they suggested a banana? 14g of sugar from fruit is considered natural sugar as opposed to 14g of sugar from a cookie.. I would be more concerned it has zero Protein... Having it mushed into oatmeal would add protein. Nutrition advice does not seem to be standardized, that's what I'm learning from reading on this forum...
