FDclerical 318 Posted November 21, 2012 I had my 2 week post op appointment today with my surgeon. it went really well. he said i can now graduate officially to Stage 2 of the diet and I will be on that for the next 4 weeks I decided to the post the foods i'm allowed just in case anyone else is that the same stage in their journey as me. we can share and compare! Double bonus of the day: I exchanged a pair of pants that got a hole in them and in return got 3 new shirts and another pair of pants. Woohoo!!! According to my Surgeons scale i was 312 day of surgery ( i honestly don't think they weighed me) because my PCP's scale and my scale at home said 307. I think they went off my pre op weight appointment. Today I was 294. So my surgeon says i've lost 18 since surgery and I cant argue but I'm not going by his numbers lol. Foods I am Allowed at 2 Weeks out. Protein- Fat Free or low fat cottage or ricotta cheese Fat free or low fat artificially sweetened yogurt-vanilla,key lime pie,lemon chiffon or orange cream sugar free fat free pudding Tofu- eggs,egg whites,eggbeaters (proached,scrambled or soft boiled.) Canned baby meats/pureed meats Sliced/shredded fat free or low fat cheese Canned/vacuum packed tuna, salmon or chicken Baked fish that flakes easily with a fork (cod,salmon tilapia,crab meat) thinly sliced lean deli turkey breast or ham lean ground beef pork or turkey Fruits- banana Unsweetened applesauce diced peaches or pears canned in own juice or light syrup Veggies- soft cooked carrots,green Beans, broccoli,cauliflower tomato juice or veggie juice Starches/Other Soup,cream of brocc (avoid corn,peas noodles rice and pasta) mashed potatoes,sweet potatoes or winter squash saltines,soda crackers toast (very odd this is on there) *may add nonfat dry milk powder or Protein Powder to foods and beverages to increase Protein content.which i plan on doing woohoo!!! i am feeling great wnt to the gym 3x this week and have been cleared to do weights just can't lift them. hope everyone is happy and feeling good <3 9 Nora., goldiva, LeahMae and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2*see*me*again 9 Posted November 21, 2012 Hi Tatylish, Wow, congrats to you. I am three weeks out tomorrow. I went in for my post op appt early around 10 days and doc said I was doing great too. He said I didnt have follow up again until 3 months. I had lost 20 lbs at that point. I've lost 4 more since then and it feels great. He approved me to move up to puréed foods too and so far have tolerated them good also. I am kind of comfortable just doing liquids so have to make me foods to eat. So far I have eaten tuna, ff Beans, puréed chicken breast, and some mashed avocado. I didn't know we could eat crackers yet though. He said basically I could try anything I wanted as long as I tolerated it well and I followed the stages accordingly. I'm still a little nervous to try too much. Thanks for sharing your list. It helps to see and follow others in the same stage. 1 kimmy*custis reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DebiSue 1 Posted November 27, 2012 I'm at the two week mark tomorrow. My doc appt. is not until Friday. Today a nurse called and said I could start soft foods. So excited. Had cottage cheese and cream of mushroom Soup. So much tastier than the liquid Proteins I've had to eat the past 4 weeks. Also looking forward to yogurt and oatmeal. I hope to be able to eat the things on your list after I meet with my Nut. on Friday. I'm not hungry but just looking forward to more variety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatnomo 102 Posted November 30, 2012 Well just had 2 week post op and my doc says you must have a stomach of steel. Told me in no uncertain terms that was phase 3 for me. Days 22-41. Oh well. Life goes on. I will love vicariously through you. :-) 30 pounds down so no complaints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
