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?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
