What was your diet/food plan one month out from RnY?



Recommended Posts

I had my 1 month nutritionist appt today- long story but she didn't end up seeing me so I couldn't ask her any questions. My office's WOE seems incredibly strict and I am curious what others are able to eat or drink at this point.

I'm attaching my diet... As you'll see at week 5 I can start having blended Soup, oatmeal/grits/cream of wheat/cottage cheese/mashed potatoes, "blenderized" fruit and pureed veggies.

it has been 10 years but this is very close to my old plan ( I pulled it out) it was about 3-4 months before I could really tolerate very much solid foods. I started with adding one thing at a time as different people tolerated different things. I still can not eat beef except ground and real tough meats stick with chicken thighs as they are more moist and lots of fish. deli ham and turkey and of course yogurt and eggs and cottage cheese ( love all kinds of cheese) I can only eat about 2 or 3 bites of any desert before getting sick. sweets have never agreed with my pouch. no raw veggies or salads either. take it very slow it sucks but you will do so much better and will appreciate it in the long run. good luck

You plan is different than mine..I am almost 4 weeks post op..I was on soft foods like scrambled eggs, refried Beans and cottage cheese within 3 days after my surgery..I am still on a very low carb plan 30 net carbs a day till month two..I can only have Protein and condiment type vegetables..1-3 oz and supplement Protein on shakes, drinks, etc .at month 2-6 I can add in soft vegetables..after month 6 I may add grains back but they say it's an option.

I was on pureed for two weeks after being released from hospital, then graduated to soft/mechanical soft for weeks 2 -4 and at day 31, was allowed to start real food slowly after I attended my NUT's post-op class. I'm pretty much allowed anything I can tolerate except for sesame seeds, celery, bread, Pasta, rice. I seem to do better with cheese, pork, beef tenderloin and shrimp than I do with chicken and fish. I did make meatballs from a Bariatric recipe and they were tolerated as well. I can have toasted multi-grain bread or wheat crackers.

My plan is 5 meals a day - 2 meals can have 1 serving multigrain (if there is room after the protein) and 2 meals can have fruit. Also can have 3 good fats - (1oz nuts, 1 tsp olive oil) Currently I drink a Protein shake in the morning (~24g protein), try to have 2 oz of meat (or cheese) at the 3 middle meals and have a glass of fairlife milk before going to bed (13g protein).

I try not to eat anything out that I haven't tried at home first. I don't want to be vomiting or dumping out in public.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
