Questions about life affer the surgey

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone of you find it difficult to lose weight when you try everything to eat no more than 1500 calories daily? Since my surgery I can not eat bread, think meat like steak, diet soda, etc. so it seems like I am eating mostly salads, grill chicken etc...things that will not make feel like I am choking. Is feeling like you are choking normal even when you chew the food up to 40 times? Does anyone have any suggestions on healthier alternatives of foods/meals to have? Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

Are you post op? How much fill do you have. There is nothing I cannot eat with proper chewing.

Do you eat fish? Cod and halibut are good as is salmon and tuna. Other cooked vegetables should work... squash, green Beans, lima Beans, collard greens, etc. chicken salad with LF mayo or greek yogurt.

I you are choking on everything you need to call your doctor for a consult and possible unfill.

Good Luck!
