Starting soft foods...



Recommended Posts

My nutritionist told me that since I'm past the 3 week post-op mark, I can now move on to soft foods from the pureed foods that I've been on.

I must say, I'm excited but scared too because I fear getting sick. I went food shopping yesterday evening and picked up a variety of food I can now have. Many things I purchased were lowfat so that's a change for me. My local supermarket is small and doesn't have a great variety of healthy foods so I go to one not close to home but where I know I will find more foods good for me now.

I bought Italian-style meatballs (beef), lowfat American & cream cheese, low-sodium ham, angel hair Pasta, low sugar ketchup, etc. I think I overdid it, lol but I don't think most of these things will spoil quickly. I'm starting off Breakfast today With a one-egg, egg salad, and a piece or two of ham. I hope it goes down well. Wish me luck!

      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?
