Question about diet for both surgeries



Recommended Posts

I had RNY 6 months ago. At 3 months, I was drinking a small Protein Shake (6oz was all I could handle) in the morning, having a scrambled egg or tuna for lunch, an early dinner of chicken in any kind of sauce with a small amount of vegetable and another small Protein shake or 1/2 c. of greek yogurt later in the evening. By this time it was easier to get in 65 oz of Water.

There will be no remarkable differences between sleeve and bypass. Just personal preferences. Advice from dozens of different doctors who have absolutely no consensus. LOL:)

Bypass folks will have a harder time with refined sugar...but both camps should avoid refined sugar.

At 3 months, I ate 1000-1200 calories per day.

I got 60+ grams of Protein per day.

Kept my meats low fat, use olive oil, etc.

My carbs were not refined, but I do eat carbs. Whole grain breads, Beans, protein Pasta.

I follow the mayo Clinic diet....which is kinda like the Mediterranean Diet. Lots of whole grains, veggies, fruits, beans, nuts, fish. Some meat.

1200 calories looks like whatever you want it to look like.

Many people will eat significantly lower calorie amounts. My group does not advise to do this based on long term studies of weight regain. We are pushed to get to 1000-1200 calories as soon as possible...the idea being a strong metabolic reset. (this is all emerging information and emerging theory....so time will tell)

Thanks.

Did you have any complications? And how have you been feeling overall?

      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! 😞
