I am 15 days out, and I will tell you what I eat:

Egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, all made with Smart Beat fat free mayo, onion powder, garlic powder. One scoop per meal. Chopped liver.

Fish fillets: salmon teriyaki, broiled fish, fish baked at 350 degrees for 10-15 min is usually great. Just olive oil, salt, pepper. Lemon is good too.

pureed oatmeal. I am ok with just chewing it a lot in my mouth.

Egg beaters or egg white omelettes with cheese, salsa, pureed vegetables, and combos of things.

Chili and stews

I have also had on occasion hash browns, the mushy part that is pureed.

I am 17 days post surgery. For Breakfast, I eat cottage cheese and a half of a smashed up banana. For lunch I eat canned tuna, with Pickle Juice, and light mayo, finely blended. For dinner I have canned chicken with fat free gravy blended up and a little bit of mashed potatoes. All the meats go in the food processor. I've lost 13 lbs. since being banded! You are doing great as well! Good luck!

Some things I like:

Baked potato no skin with 2 wedges melted Laughing cow cheese and some steamed broccoli chopped fine stirred in.

Mashed great northern canned Beans seasoned with chopped ham.

Scrambled eggs with melted Laughing Cow wedges, finely chopped ham or bacon, or Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles. Sometimes I toss in a few TBL of refrigerated hash browns.

When I make meatballs for the family, I freeze a few for me. I thaw and finely chop and stir them into Pasta sauce. I take a small baking ramekin and plop in ricotta, sprinkle parm and parsley and garlic powder, top with the meatball sauce and bake in my toaster oven. Top with more parm and a pinch of mozz.

I like finely chopped rotisserie chic mixed with 1/2 n 1/2 blend of Greek yogurt and lite mayo, and whatever seasonings, add some tiny diced celery, just enough for crunch.

I love Laughing cow cheese and I definatley take these meal ideas and apply.... I feel really lost with this. I think because it hurts going down I am afraid of eating. It's sad but sweets go down with no problem and I dont want to go back to old habits... I really want to be sucessful in this journey.

      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?
