Healthy foods that go down a tight band?



Recommended Posts

Please help me with ideas for healthy foods that can go down a tight band? Also, food ideas that are naturally small bites or go down easier? Thanks

Hi:

oatmeal for Breakfast goes good. Granola bar - well chewed of course, or rice cakes with Peanut Butter good for lunch, with a cheese stick. You can also crumble up your granola and put it into yogurt so that you can get Fiber and dairy and Calcium.

Those are a few of my suggestions. I look forward to reading what others write.

Take care.

Sue

Canned tuna and Canned chicken Breast works best for me. Sometimes i mix in a small spoonful of mayo to make it moist.

GOOD LUCK!

Greek yogurt.

Soups

So long as you remember that this is a temporary measure until you get to the Dr for that slight unfill. You do not want to stay too tight. It is dangerous and can often lead to weight gain as slider foods are higher in calories and do not keep you satisfied.

When I'm really tight--like after a fill when I'm still swollen---I lean toward stuff like refried Beans with cheese, chili, smoked salmon (it's very soft, but moister than tuna, which can cause trouble), Protein Shakes, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and Soups to which I add unflavored Protein. (Ordinarily, I avoid soups that aren't really substantial because they can be sliders, but when I'm tight, this isn't a problem.)

Soft foods like oatmeal or scrambled eggs for Breakfast. Thin high Protein Soups, refried Beans. My favorite go to food that I keep stocked at all times is chili. It has plenty of protein and flavor so it is satisfying and easy to get down.

Chili ........think Protein. If you are too tight to eat a little chili you are too tight.

      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?
