Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any experiences with these foods (positive and/or negative) post gastric bypass? And if you're ok with them, when did you introduce that food back in to your diet?

I'm trialling some foods pre op before my Optifast 2 week diet.

I mostly concentrate on Protein. I stay away from foods that I used to consider healthy. I am 1 year post op and 90% of my daily intake is still protein. I have the occasional salad or piece of fruit but I can count how often per month on one hand. I just received the results from lab work I had done for my upcoming 6 month primary care physician appointment and all my numbers were perfect.

My advice to anyone having the surgery or recently had it, Don't eat something because it is good for you, eat stuff your body needs and try to stay away from everything else.

Bananas I took on within a week. So easy to chew into something resembling free Fluid, they are my favorites snack now. Avocados at puree stage (2 weeks) and blueberries soon after. Brie from some foods on, no issues.

The only one in your list that sort of troubled me was edamame. I had a barley/pearl cous cous edamame steamer bag and it didn't sit great, when I threw it up the edamame was fibrous and probably contributed to the sticking. Cucumber and capsicum are fine, I just need to chew them very well.

Soft cheese is a life saver.

      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! 😞
