Mrs.Fox 32 Posted June 4, 2014 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGirlPanties 957 Posted June 4, 2014 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...

huberm 10 Posted June 4, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
