Sweet potato fries



Recommended Posts

When was your surgery? It has been 5 months since my GYN and just made them last week. I was able to eat about 6 sliced thin.

Hi

oh I see. I would check with your doctor to see if it's not to early for you to eat certain foods. I would follow his diet and ask him to make sure before. Best wishes. I know I had cravings after I had my bypass for certain foods but they went away but you want to make sure to avoid any obstruction.

This close to your surgery date, I would seriously doubt your surgeon would recommend it and I'm also pretty sure your stomach wouldn't like it. Also you should be focusing on maximizing the Protein intake at this stage. There will be plenty of time for sweet potatoes the rest of your life.

Don't get me wrong, I love sweet potatoes and eat them frequently. But you need the protein now more than the carbs. Not because of weightloss, but because protein is the building blocks for healing and muscle tissue. And at almost 2 months out you are still healing and building reinforced scar tissue where the fundus was removed.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
