6 weeks post op ?'s.



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm 6 weeks post- op & am just curious as to what others are eating.

I ditched the damn Protein Shakes & am now eating meat. Chewed verrry, verry slowly, lol. I eat chicken, & shrimp mostly. But I'm still struggling with staying away from carbs. I don't eat any kind bread. However, I find myself eating a bit of Mac & cheese off of my toddlers plates. Im a Pasta girl clearly. Smh.

What are you guys eating?

I stay away from carbs as much as possible...

I used smashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes... you can even use it for a "pizza" crust.

I have spaghetti squash, which is super yummy with sauce and some meatballs...

you learn to substitute to get rid of as many carbs as possible and you will be much better off in the long run... once your body purges it, it should be easier to avoid the temptation... but if you have a little bit on a regular basis it will add up... on occasion everyone NEEDS ;) some carbs tho....

good luck to you...

i'm 6 weeks out now too and am eating meat. I've found that I really enjoy fish after surgery. I can eat about 3.5oz of it and a little bit of green Beans and I am full.

For Snacks I found these 4oz chicken salad packs at costco, cheese stick, yogurt, or a handful of cashews.

I am 6 weeks out from my 2nd sleeve. Solid foods do not go down. They just sit in my esphogaus until I throw up. broth is all I can get down. Wasn't this hard first time around. Getting a little concerned.

Re-sleeve? Do you mind me asking why you were sleeved a second time?

      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?
