Ask for a plan from your team. They should give you the lowdown on what you are to eat and when.

Do you have a date for surgery yet or are you just looking into it?

Hi, feel your pain. Im dying for some penne ala vodka :-(.

Every doc follows a diff nutrition plan. I was allowed toast at phase 3 which i was moved to on my follow up at week 3 post op. I got sleeved, hernia repair and gall bladder removed. S/w ur doc n nut about getting a clear breakdown so u dont mess up your progress n healing process. FYI, i cheated n had a few french fries that made me wish some1 would shoot me n put me out of my misery. Learned quick fast to not jump the gun n follow my damn plan. Lord it was horrible. Good luck.

I was told no bread for now, and I'm 13 weeks post op. My nutritionist said I can have a piece of toast if I want to.

I know that personally, I stay away from toast and Pasta at this point in my weight loss journey, because of the fact that breads and Pasta are high in carbs. I want to make sure that I keep my carbs lower than 45 grams a day, or I can't lose weight.

Pasta s my chryptonite so im steering clear of it. I got rye pumpernickel bread n i can eat just 1 slice. Ive had it like every 3 or 4 days 4 bkfst. My body is slow at tolerating many foods so far so im very thankful for the things that dont make me sick. Good thing is im still on track with weightloss.

Don't give in to the cravings. It takes a long time, but you will get over it. At 2+ years post op, I rarely even think about bread or Pasta anymore. You are better off without it.

I'm 6 1/2 weeks post op. I'm allowed Pasta though I haven't had any yet and toast. I have toast about twice a week. My nut said starches are important and everything in moderation. 2 weeks until I'm cleared for full diet.

I was sleeved in December, I can't have Pasta, bread , or rice for 6 months but truly have no craving for it. I try to stick to 3 meals a day , no Snacks and I make the largest part of the meal Protein. Weight loss have been slow and steady. I've lost 36 lbs. 65 to go.

My nut said the only carbs to have are the natural kind. I am 11 months out and have had one forkful of Pasta. I miss it. Maybe because I'm Italian and grew up with it. Idk. I have no idea who's correct. I just know that I would like a small portion with my Protein every so often. [emoji45]

Hi everyone! I had the sleeve this past January and lost 36 pounds. Its really hard and not easy because I live I NYC and its cold and usually I want a hot meal and pig out. But I keep in mind what I accomplished so far and I want to loose more and I use to have back pain thank god I don't have any more pain. so I maintain my diet with my homemade Soups or can soups and most important Protein Shake I recommend Unjury Protein shake. I was introduced this shake at ny Presbyterian hospital best hospital in. NYC and awesome staff. I hope this information inspire someone and congratulations to all on your journey of success and don't give up we can do it! :)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
