What Were You Eating And How Much? I Need Help



Recommended Posts

Hello Guys,

I'm 3 weeks yesterday and on pureed/blended foods. I am lost. I was cleared to have some at 2 weeks out because I was not able to get my drinks in, so he told me to try it. It worked ok but now I feel like I'm empty all the time. Here is my routine:

Wake up 5-Pepcid

11 oz of Protein by 11 (30 gr)

2oz of tuna blended or egg salad blended by 1 (takes about 30 min or more)

11 oz of protein by 4ish (30 gr)

2 oz of tuna blended or egg salad blended by 6 ish (takes about 30 min or more)

8 oz of protein by 9ish (15 gr)

And I getting about 45-50 oz of Water a day.

Should I up the 2oz or am i just missing something. I does not feel like acid, and its not like hard hunger pains, its just empty. I am very tired because he above is only about 400-500 calories a day and I'm walking several miles a day (3-4).

Help!!!

Myabe you need a few carbs? not sure what your diet is allowed at that stage since every doc is different, but when i have too low carbs i feel empty and lightheaded. on the puree stage i would have some potatoe Soup just a few oz every few days. made me feel better.

Lack of carbs very possible I was a diabetic before the sleeve and they told me to get at least 50gm of carbs because It was easier for me to go into a ketosis metabolic state the nut. said to use juice 1/2 strength mix with Water I kept that by me all time to get in my water and carbs and I felt like I was getting a treat. Good luck in a couple more weeks it will feel like a walk in the park!

Good thought because I'm getting less than 19 every day and less than 10 sugars. I'll try a little potato Soup it's on my list just not my fav. Thanks Guys.

      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?
