Whats Too High Of Fat For Us?



Recommended Posts

My Nut. Booklet they gave me only states guidelines specific for sugar. To keep it under 5 gms per meal. But it only states to not eat anything too high in fat to avoid dumping. I'm just wondering if anyone else who has had the RNY where given a more specific number of fat grams to have? What's considered low fat for us?

I've always wondered about this too but no one never knows the answer. I guess it's trial an error.

I was told by my surgeon that they can give general guidelines, but everyone is different, and thats where we just hv to learn to understand our new bodies. No rule book of one rule for all, (with regard to dumping limits).

Sorry I'm off topic here, but I need some serious help. I'm taking Bariatric Fusion chewable vitamins and they are awful. I don't have to take additional Calcium with it, but boy, they are awful. Suggestions, anyone?

I bought Bariatric Advantage and they have chewable Vitamins, Iron, Calcium, B12 etc, in different flavours. And they are yummy. only thing I found is don't eat the lemon lime Iron, with the multi vit blackcurrant. Not a good combo.

The calcium comes in either high dose tablets that Taste like drinking chocolate, or caramel etc favored chews. My new legal treats that are good for me.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
