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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
