Dr aceves mushies question



Recommended Posts

Hi y'all. I am in the mushies phase and I am trying to figure out if I can have soft whitefish like tilapia. Do you know if it is ok at this stage or if I need to wait until we move into the full foods phase? Thanks!

I would think so if you are tolerating everything that you should be. I was eating fish (stay away from salmon, though, too dense) after about ten days.

I had some tofu and did OK on it. The next day I tried some again it got stuck in my throat and I had the worst pain ever! Since then I've been back to full liquids and mushies again!

Yes, soft white fish is considered a mushie.

I got a finger wagging for eating chicken before the 30 day mark. I told Gaby what I was eating in my weekly email/update. She said no chicken/turkey/deil meat until 30 days to make sure the staple line is healing. She said even if I was tolerating it well that I needed to wait until 30 days. Soooooo....I'm back on softs today. Tomorrow makes thirty days. I bought a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich from the Breakfast cart and just ate the eggs and cheese. They tasted like bacon. mmmm...bacon.

I was tempted to not listen to Gaby, but how dumb would I feel if I messed something up even after they told me what to do?

      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?
