I thought I read wrong. Starting to think it’s true. We really can’t reheat food? 🥹 I’m the left over queen. I tried left over food 3 times and each time it turned into my worst enemy 😩. Why me lord… it’s not in my budget to cook every single day. Or order food every single day. Help friends help me please!

I read on here that some people did not have good outcomes after trying to eat left overs. I’m doing great with freshly cooked meals and fluids. But once I have to reheat it. All hell breaks loose. I’m so nauseous and also vomiting.

I haven’t heard anything like that before.
If you reheat in the microwave maybe try the stove top instead.

I've never had an issue (with either my sleeve or now my bypass) when reheating food. I do it all the time because I can never finish what I order from restaurants when I eat with my colleagues.

I reheat all the time. I cook one night then eat the leftovers for the next two or three nights. Just portion everything up into single appropriate portion sizes. My freezer is full of leftover meals I’ve made & frozen to defrost & reheat to eat at other times. (I call my freezer my local take away.😉)

The only thing is they recommend you only chill/freeze then reheat the same food once but that’s for everyone not just bariatric patients (because of the bacteria in food & possible food poisoning). Maybe that’s what was meant?

I have read that some folks have issues with reheated meat specifically, simply because it gets drier/tougher once cooled and then reheated. The leftovers themselves aren't the issue, its the change in texture/moisture that results, as I understand it. I would say if you are trying to eat leftovers make sure they are an appropriate texture for the phase of your post-op diet you're in, chew well, take your time eating, etc. I never had an issue with it and eat leftovers quite often, but everyone is different and things. Also, if something doesn't sit well now, give it a few weeks and they try again. Sometimes we just aren't quite ready for something but find we can tolerate it much better a little later on. Hang in there!

I am having this issue and the nutritionist suggested I let food cool way down to room temperature after heating it up or not heating it too much. It helps, but I still have problems with meat, in general, but especially reheated. It’s frustrating.

I’ve decided to stick with liquid and shakes for now. Maybe you can confirm for the both of us that it’s ok. Lol

In my past life I was a pescatarian/vegan/vegetarian. Idk. Anything that walked I didn’t eat. Lol And I loved it. I know the booklet from the hospital suggested a Mediterranean diet after and before surgery which is very similar to what I was already doing.

I've read it helps if you add moisture to your food before re-heating (ex: a little bit of bouillon to your meat)

Oh wow every day is a school day! I had never heard of this before today, and certainly never experienced it because I reheat things ALL THE TIME (I'm sleeved though). But I can see now how it is a thing.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
