Transition to unrestricted textures!
katie206 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey guys! I am officially allowed to have fresh fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds starting tomorrow and I am so excited! I don't want to upset my pouch though, so does anybody have ideas to ease my pouch in or was it ok for you to just start adding new textures? Any food ideas would be great as well! Thank you! -
I had RNY on August 22nd and I am officially down 50 lbs! I'm so excited and wanted to share my before and after pic so far! Can't wait to continue this journey!

Hi guys! I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and as I'm incorporating more food in my diet I'm having trouble deciding what I should and shouldn't try. I know low sugar and low fat are key but I wasn't sure what amount of grams is too high. Some yogurts have like 15g of sugar but I'm not sure if that's ok? Any thoughts would be helpful! Thank you!

Swallowing too much air?
katie206 replied to Amanda R's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I burped like crazy right after surgery! It's because they fill you with gas during surgery to make it easier to move the instruments around. It just take some time to get all the gas out! -
I'm still here too!

Hey srofe! Sorry you aren't feeling well today I haven't been using any powders I just use premier protein shakes, their the best tasting to me! Sorry about your stitches too! I'm sure it will heal soon! I'm feeling good pain wise, I'm just really tired and I'm having issues with purée because the texture just turns me off. Hope you feel better!
-
When are you guys allowed laughing cow? Puree or soft texture phase?
-
Thanks guys! Just had some, so yummy!
-
That sounds delicious! But my nurse practitioner said the purée had to be falling off the spoon but I feel like I would do fine with that. Was it really thick?
-
Are you guys allowed to have scrambled eggs on purée phase? I can't seem to get a clear answer on whether its allowed or not?
-
-
I am so excited for breakfast tomorrow! Haha I have never been this excited for an egg before!
-
Hi! I start purée tomorrow and was wondering If I can just coo scrambled eggs normally or do they have to be super loose? I really don't like them too loose. I've followed everything so far so I don't want to hurt my pouch. Also want to put a little ketchup on it, is that ok? Thanks!

Hey Everyone! I get to start purée on Monday and I am soo excited to have real food even if it is mushy! Haha I was hoping for some ideas of foods that are good to purée, I feel like the texture will freak me out a little bit so hoping for something yummy if possible! Any ideas would help! Thank you!

Sorry if TMI but I've been having diarrhea several times a day since the day after discharge (Saturday), I put in a call to my doctors office but just wanted to know if this was normal? I'm having trouble with fluids on top if this so I'm afraid I will become dehydrated, please help!

Diarrhea after Surgery

Thanks for the help everybody! It actually stopped 2 days ago, so glad! My nurse practitioner said sometimes it happens right after surgery but hopefully everything will stay ok! -
