nutrition requirements for g-sleeve pts



Recommended Posts

Initially, it is the typical bariatric diet that's Protein first and then whatever else fits and fits with whatever specific diet a patient may be on or prefer. Many do one of the popular commercial type diets like Atkins, paleo or Keto, but that's a preference for them rather than a physiological necessity. I'm 7-8 years out and just eat a fairly basic balanced diet - some meat and dairy, whole grains, lots of fruits and veggies and the occasional junky no-no; in short, a little bit of everything, not too much of anything. My wife is fairly similar being 13-14 years out on a DS, though she also puts in a daily smoothie that incorporates a lot of her supplementary potassium and Calcium.

i am a recent VSG. my diet consists of whatever i want it to be as long as my Protein goes in first.. then veggies then carbs. at 2 months post op.. i can still barely get past the protein.. I look forward to the day i can eat more however i do incorporate veggies when i make cauli crust pizza.. and bananas in my pancakes, so its all about being creative..

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
