Kale/spinach/berries/nuts



Recommended Posts

Anyone eating these foods at 2 mths out? Everyone seems to have different eating phases or plans, and my surgeon's post-op coordinator really doesn't seem to care, so... Anyone?

I haven't been able to stomach any Protein Shakes AT ALL and am tired of meat/dairy, which prior to surgery, it was clear to me by the coordinator, that a mostly veg diet is easily possible with the sleeve, that I shouldn't have any worries.. NOT! Anyone eating a plant/protein based diet? Im struggling. Any help would be great help, thank you.

I ate all of those things at 2 months out. I was only restricted from certain foods for the first six weeks while the staple line was healing... for example, I couldn't have berries due to the possibility of the seeds getting stuck in the healing staple line.

Some people might struggle with kale since it's a bit fiberous, but it wasn't a problem for me at all... I pretty much have a sleeve of steel!

Each surgeons plan is different, but in my case, even though I can have those types of things, there is a caution that nuts, and leafy vegetables might be problematic for many months after being allowed to eat most everything else. I can't really offer any suggestions regarding a plant based diet.

      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?
