What's on your menu for dinner tonight?



Recommended Posts

Good evening everyone,

I going to be 4 weeks post-op tomorrow. I feel terrific! I was given the green light last Friday for pureed foods. So far I've managed three nights on scrambled eggs and now two nights with haddock with garlic sauce-it's the Gortons baked in a bag and pureed nicely. So good! I've added a bit of butternut squash that's pureed too. I've had no issues so far with these.

So let's see what you all are eating. I've been experimenting on my family with a cookbook my best friend used when she was sleeved. Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery. It has different stages, surgeries and portion sizes. It's great and the food has turned out to be very tasty-at least my hubby and kids think so!

Fire away about your meals-I am loving cooking these days!

Nell

I'm 4 weeks post op as well. I went out for Mexican food with friends. I shared fajitas with my husband but all I ate were a couple of small strips of chicken and some refried Beans. It was yummy but my head wanted more than I could eat.

Leftovers. I am having chicken Soup from La Pinata. chicken breast chunks, with potatoes, carrots and avocado. Delicious, and tender. It's taking me forever to finish it though. I think I'm good for one more night.

      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.
