Sleeved On 5/17...what Else Can I Eat Sooo Sick Of The Protein Shakes!



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on May 3rd. Have been living on chicken nuggets and fish sticks(only 1 or 2 at a time) since week 3. Doctor said if I can stomach it then it was fine. He said the carbs from the breading would help give me some energy. I have always been a die hard no carb person, but I have found I really need some after surgery. I have tried some Jerky too, cut it up small and chew well.

I can't stomach the shakes after surgery for some reason. I tried a few different kinds.

I was sleeved on May 14th and I am eating refried beans; eggs; yogart; canned chicken/tuna puréed; watermelon; cottage cheese; and chili. I chew very well and it's working out just fine. More importantly, now that I have started mushy foods, I think I am taking in less calories than when I was on full-liquids.

Thanks for the suggestions..so far I have tried mashed potatoes,scrambled eggs, soups and today I tried a spoon of ground beef...I tolerated all well.I am only suppose to do full liquids until I see the dr june 6th but I needed more. Hopefully I'm not "harming" my new tummy. Down 20 lbs since 5/17 so ; must not be doing to bad?

Its funny I am 8 weeks out and can eat anything but find eating such a chore I tend to stick to soft foods I have not gotten sick and everything agrees with me but I find if something is too dry like chicken I feel uncomfortable and there is nothing I am really craving so just sticking to ray food

      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?
