4 weeks and so many questions



Recommended Posts

Hi I was wondering what suggestions does everyone have for being 4 weeks out now? What exactly is a soft diet? Also has anyone attempted to take a sip of soda(sprite) I am so craving the carbonation I know it is bad for me but all I want is a sip.... any opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated :crying:

Hello, a soft diet is pretty much anything mashed, pureed or placed in a sauce making it mushy and easy to chew. Things like mashed potatoes, refried Beans, apple sauce, scrambled eggs, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, yogurts, tuna, etc. Look under our recipes forum, you should find some ideas there.

As for carbonation, I really don't recommend it, especially not as early out as you are. It will most likely really upset your stomach creating a very uncomfortable experience for you. I am seven months out and cannot tolerate carbonated beverages, but I don't have any desire to drink them either.

      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.
