When food choices are limited



Recommended Posts

I think I made an ok choice...

I'm still on pureed foods and usually have Soup for lunch. Today I was stuck in a meeting that ran late and by the time I made it to the cafeteria soup was pretty much gone. So I went with a burger patty, no bun. I ate tiny bites. I dipped in mayo and ketchup and CHEWED like crazy!!

My other options were salad bar, deli sandwhich or a slice of pizza.

Good choice or bad choice for pureed stage?

Well, by the time you chew the bejeebers out of it, ground beef might just as well be a puree. Under the circumstances, you probably made the best choice possible.

Would it be possible for you to keep an emergency stash in a desk drawer for times like this, though?

I agree. It was better you ate something than nothing at all. Sounds like you did the best you could.

When I was in pureed stage, hamburger was one of the choices...anything that could basically become mush... so don't worry too much!:thumbdown:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
