Doctor gave me the go ahead!

I had my one month appointment yesterday and my surgeon said I can move forward with my eating. I told him that I was kind of scared to eat regular foods and was worried about hurting myself. He said there is nothing that can happen at this time forward. I haven't thrown anything up and he told to eat whatever I wanted in moderation. Still going to stay away from sweets and breads for a bit. Not sure what to eat in reality. Kind of getting use to the healthy foods. He was concerned about my calorie intake... I have been averaging 400-500 calories a day. I need 1200-1500. Could be why he wants me eating more. I also got the ok to start running and lifting weights again.

Awesome! Lots of high Protein options now that you are cleared. Greek yogurt, chili, even lean delii meats. I sometimes order a turkey sub, no bread, no mayo just a little oil/vinegar. I get the flavor and none of the carbs/fats .

if you cook at all check out theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and emilybites.com lots of easy to follow recipes all geared toward diets after bariatric surgery.

God luck and congratulations on a great start!
