What to eat?



Recommended Posts

So my surgery was on 4/25 and I can now be on a purred diet. I'm out of town at training for my new job this week and next and am trying to figure out what I can eat. Any help is appreciated as the dietician I met with was not extremely useful.

Hi-

Yogurt, well-mashed refired Beans, well mashed potato or yam, well-chewed cottage cheese. Anything you can get to a pureed consistency. Just remember to measure so you don't get too ful and make yourself uncomfortable.

Good luck!

try to grab some easy things for eating. Simple makes your choices better...at least for me. Big container of cottage cheese is cheaper, but the 3.5 oz servings are easier and pre measured. Single serve apple sauces (don't need to be refrigerated) same with pudding cups (sugar free of course...lol) Maybe some of those nuke-able Soup at hand things of soup? I did like refried Beans with some weight watchers shredded cheese melted on top, then add a smidge of Guacomole and sour cream...mmm, seemed decadent after all the stuff like soups! If you're going out to eat though, stick with Soups. I did order crab legs out...they were nice because it took me as long to crack and eat those as it did for others meal. It made my small serving not as noticable. Good Luck!

Thanks for all the help! I got some yogurt tonight to keep in my room--the hotel provided me with a fridge. I went across the street and had some Tomato basil Soup at Corner Bakery. I feel like I'm going to turn into a can of soup with as much soup as I've eaten in the past 2 weeks! I am looking forward to some refried Beans with cheese and maybe some ricotta cheese with a tomato sauce topping. YUMMY!

      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?
