Need help-support-advice on my diet
carstanger replied to partofme!'s topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
My doctor and Nut only talk about 60 gms of protein, and 64 ounces of fluid. I don't check calaries at all. Have to watch the amount of fat, no saturated fat, and amount of sugar. Using myfitnesspal.com also to check the protein and track the food. At 6 weeks on Monday, and 2 more weeks of soft protein. Tuna, canned chicken, eggs, etc. Hope that helps. -
pureed / soft food stage
carstanger replied to toxtomany's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
fat free refried beans with low fat cheese, lf cottage cheese, deli meat, sliced thin wrapped around 2% cheese stick, beans, soups with beans, tuna, canned chicken, and then I use some of what I had on full proteins. I have to be on that until 8 weeks out. I'm at 6 weeks on Monday and they said a small amount of ham, chewed well, deviled eggs, cheese. Hope it's going well for you. -

Back In Hospital At About 4 Weeks Out
carstanger replied to Kalimomof3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How are you doing??? Out of the hospital?? -
I was told that the doctor wanted to shrink the liver, so it would be safer for him to move it to get to the stomach!!! Also, practice taking small sips, etc. before surgery. Still having some problems with soft Proteins. I think I'm not eating slow enough, even though I try to do that!

/Good luck with your surgery!!! You will be so glad that you did this!

Questions Answered About My Diet
carstanger commented on blessedw2's blog entry in My Weightloss Journey- 11/19/12
Almost 4 weeks out and I threw up bean soup (forgot there was some ham in it) and this morning my egg beaters with cheese. Think the cheese was too globby. Anyway, finally keeping protein drink down so will try food again in a little while. Discouraged! -
I have to track my protein, liquids, and blood pressure. The nurse looked at it at my 2 week check. Saw my regular doctor between that and my 3 week nut check, and see the surgeon at 5 weeks. Food stuck last night and this morning, so I'm on protein liquids now till I quit "urping". YUCK!!!
