Question about post op diet

[michelecaples 224]

I dislike breads and that since surgery, but would not have survived without oatmeal and potatoes. My stomach rejects most of what he has on his plan

And the amount of carbs we eat is super low. I like having a well rounded diet

Yeah...every surgeon is different. I am glad so many on here get to eat veggies still.....I am concerned the most about that. But I think it is important for us all to follow our own docs advice ya know....that way they can tweak it here or there if we aren't losing. I don't think there is just one right plan. I think everyone's body works differently and some who are more active would benefit from some good sources of carbohydrates. I'm comfortable now with his plan because I have done low carb before and know it works for me....I feel tons better about everything. I'm glad you found a plan that works for you too....oatmeal is good for your heart.....I will miss that too.

I am very excited' date='but I wish I would know for sure. Still no call. I am sorry you have had such a difficult time. I am stopping my lupus med for now too. It is so harsh on my stomach, I am afraid to take it. I am averaging about the same calories on my previous opp diet, but it is mostly from Protein. Whatever you do....check with the doc first so you don't hurt your tummy. Did you go for the sleeve then? How has it Ben hunger wise? One of my biggest fears is that I still won't feel full. My parents are on their way from out of state to help my hubby and kids. That way he can be there with me.....do thou have family? Are you all healed now and has the leak stopped?[/quote']

No I went the agressive route and got the rny after all hunger there this none I have to force myself to eat, you will be surprised , however i am so nauseoues all the time especially first thing in the am and in the eve I take anti nausea meds, I had my mom here helping me but she finally went home, no the leak is not closed yet they tried glue and clips now they will need a stent, hoping that works if not it will require another.trip to the or , I have done all med changes under my pcp and rhuemy so careful supervision but I'll tell ya I'm lucky I have been off of work and that I had the extra help because with the complications and this.flare it's been a battle, I hope you got your clearance and everything is good to go just came across this recipe-site you may find it helpful?

Kat77 I too have Dr. Krahn. He performed rny on me a week ago. I would follow what he says to follow. I've been doing well following what the nut has recommended. And your right dr has an extremely high success rate. Have u tried Isopure Protein Drinks I love grape frost.

I asked my nurse and dr about this she told me the fallow the accreted weightloss guide lines my first week I'm only allowed Protein and cream of chicken or cream of broccoli that have been strained when I start purée foods meat like1-2 oz tuna fish chicken 1 tbls sweet potatoes 1 tbls carrots peas 2 times per day and my protein 4 times per day and 1 sf Popsicle . They say you can eat sf Greek yogurt cream of wheat mashed potatoes but its like 1 tbls is a serving. Just talk to you dr just make sure you get at least 64 oz total fluids a day

Also from all pre op patients at my classes say the bread gums up and can't eat rice cause it expands in your stomach its better for Protein and carbs to be veggies

I haven't ....I was looking for something tonight for the clear liquid diet, but I only got as far as target when I had another magnesium citrate attack, so I ended up with sugar free lime Jello. I'm really not that hungry now...I'm too nervous. I am sticking to his plan for sure though. I think everyone on here should follow their own surgeons advice. Do you go to the support group? I live up here in the desert but I think I will be coming down for the meetings.

Since my surgery was 1/29 I don't have to go until the end of the month. I live in the San Gabriel valley so it's just bit of a drive. Maybe you will be at the one I will be at.

[wonderwoman75 118]

Oh and you can get Isopure ready to drink Protein drinks at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe

[kat77 63]

Thanks for the info....I love the Vitamin Shoppe. I will look online when I come home. Probably we are scheduled for the same one..they only have one a month and I think it might be this month for me.

[wonderwoman75 118]

Cool good luck today. Remember to walk when you can and get the gas out of you.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to you.
