I am 7 weeks post-op and am eating lots of Protein. I have a least 1 Protein Shake a day made with silk. I eat baked fish, shrimp, lots and lots of chicken breast and turkey. Chicken and turkey deli meat. Snacks include weight watcher's light cheese sticks. I was at a bit of a stall, but added calories and it broke finally. Down 30 pounds and lots of inches.

I am almost 12 wks out and I can't eat the things I did before, I don't eat rice, potatoes, Pasta it bothers my stomach and I have no taste for it. I eat maybe one slice of weight watchers whole wheat with an egg in the morning but that is as far as my carbs go, the rest of the day is my Isopure shake and Fish, Shrimp, chicken Breast or turkey. Right now that is it.

I'm at 7 wks postop and I'm eating quite a variety of food. I usually have one Protein Shake a day in the morning. I eat my Protein first, chicken, beef, fish, cheese, not too fond of eggs. In this past week, I have added some fresh fruit and salad. It's been a big difference from wk 5 to wk 6 in regard to being able to eat more than 1/4 cup. It's now more like 1/2 to 3/4 cup at a time.

And I've read that you're able to eat more because the swelling in your stomach has gone down at about 8 weeks, so this makes sense.

I ate pretty much whatever I wanted at 8 weeks. I of course made better choices tho! I still have no craving for carbs at all so I dont eat much of them.

i like hard boiled eggs and / or greek yogurt for Breakfast. yesterday for the first time since 4/23, i ate an entire tuna on whole wheat sandwich. lots and lots of homemade lentil Soup. the last batch i made i cooked with pork bracciole which made it fantastic!! the shredded pork just melts into the lentils. i've had small amounts of Pasta which i love but keep to a minimum. on the days where we go out for dinner i always order fish now. as i type this i'm getting a little hungry and wondering what to have for lunch. ?? for Snacks i've been having two wedges of laughing cow lite cheese with a few whole wheat ritz crackers. i'm still waiting to have apples and peaches. i think i can tolerate the fruit but my nutritionist says to hold off on fruits and salad. i can't wait to have a nice salad with some blue cheese dressing. maybe today is the day i try some for lunch ??

My doctor said I could eat whatever I could tolerate. I am at 7 weeks. I eat sugar free yogurt every morning for breakfast and sometimes a Protein Bar or shake mid-morning. I still do feel hungry, but when I eat, after a few bits, I am full. It is mostly trial and error to learn what you can eat and how quickly you can eat it. Eating slow is a challenge since I used to inhale my food. It has definitely been a learning experience. I didn't realize how addicted I was to food/eating.

      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?
