Maybe the OP had not fully connected with her NUT or her NUT wasn't as knowledgable as other members have been lucky enough to to work with. This forum is a place to share. It's a place to learn. This site can be a lifeline for those who are still struggling with the masses of info you get in this life altering experience. I admire the OP for reaching out, wanting to get it right.

I think the "do what your NUT says" response is flippant and rude. I'm a newbie but I've seen it thrown out there at times. Every time I see it I think "why?" Isn't it assumed that that's what any person who is going thorough the process does first, ask their NUT? If don't have a helpful suggestion, why even bother typing "ask your NUT?"

Hopefully a veteran poster can steer this person in the right direction to get the info she needs. I wish I could help, but I'm not to the solid stage yet. When I am I will be seeking expert info here.

Thanks to all of the posters who take their time and are so generous with their knowledge.

I feel if you are goi g through this major life changing surgery you need to do your research first. If your nutritionist didn't tell you what to eat, which to me is a huge red flag, then either get a better nutritionist or keep asking them until you get a list and you understand it. That's what the nutritionists are there for.

As previously stated, what to eat post op is medical advice which you should get feom medical professionals especially since every plan is different. I've seen some people say they were on liquid for a month and I've seen some people say they were on purees right out of the hospital sp in the end it doesn't really matter what other people ate, it matters what your surgeon and your nutritionist tell you.

I understand asking what others are eating, but you should not be asking strangers online what you should be eating

Wow, that was rude. I think if you feel I'm asking for medical advice which I wasn't then you should just scroll past my post instead of being so rude. I do have a nutrientionist but we have not talked about 6 months to a year after being sleeved. I already know about the post op, I'm fully aware, I was curious about people 6-12 months out. What they are eating. Is that so bad? I'm sorry if it offended anyone. I thought this group was for that.

Thank you for your replies , I wasn't asking for medical advice I was just simply asking from expierenced sleevers of what foods they eat on a day to day basis. What foods you've tried that didn't go over well. You get the best advice from people who have been through the process. So thank you very much to those who have shared with me.

I really enjoyed the Unjury chicken flavor Protein Powder. Would warm up a little fair life milk and broth was very good . This broke up the day in and day out of Protein Shake.

Your welcome !!! Just take the chill off milk and broth. The fair life milk has 13 grams of Protein by itself. One scoop of the Unjury has a 21 grams of protein. That really a good way to meet your protein goal . Good luck with your up coming surgery.

@@saphfyre14,

As the others said, be sure to eat what your surgeon and nutritionist tell you to eat. If they haven’t told you anything yet, ask them. They should be able to give you as much information as you want.

That said, your diet will probably have a lot of healthy foods and not many unhealthy ones! You will not be able to eat much volume at first, so you will need to start with the Protein foods at each meal and snack (if your surgeon and nutritionist tell you to include snacks). That might include eggs, chicken, tuna, beef, turkey, Beans, cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, and other lean and nutritious sources of Protein. You might not be able to tolerate all of those foods at first; you’ll have to see how it goes. Eventually, you can also add peanuts and nuts, but those can take longer.

Vegetables come next to your meals and Snacks, since veggies are low calorie and filling. You’ll eat cooked ones first since they’re easier to tolerate. Examples include cooked carrots and green Beans. It’ll probably take you a really long time to be able to eat salad. Other healthy foods to include will probably be fruit, whole grains like oatmeal, and starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes in small servings.

And what won’t you be eating? Well, probably anything that’s high-calorie and low-nutrient: think sugary, processed, fatty, fried, and starchy foods. Cake, white Pasta, pizza, chips, fried chicken, and ice cream are a few examples. Alcohol is also forbidden.

Many sleeve patients are able to tolerate almost everything, although you might have trouble with certain foods. Some patients include small amounts of junk food because they know they can satisfy their cravings and stay in control, while others avoid all trigger foods.

Hope that gives you some idea!
