Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Question one week tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

My surgery was two weeks ago yesterday. I just toughed it out. I wasn't even allowed Protein shakes until one week out, so you are better off than I was if you are already on shakes. I just did yogurt and strained clear Soups (chicken noodle varieties mostly) for that first week. I found the sugar-free Jello and popsicles to be pretty useless, since they don't actually provide any calories.

Once I was allowed Protein Shakes and strained cream Soups, I was just doing two shakes and some Soup each day. I was technically supposed to be on that until this coming Thursday, but yesterday I tried a little cottage cheese and did okay with it, so I'm probably going to add that into the mix until Thursday when I'm allowed more pureed/soft foods.

i've been doing sugar-free pudding with Protein powder. yogurt makes me gag...trying some now and my stomach is gurgling like crazy. i will be one week out tomorrow and getting my staples out. i find that F/F creamed Soups are quite tasty and comforting and i have been using carnation no sugar added Protein shakes. they taste so much better than that clumpy Protein Powder crap i bought. i add 1 tbsp of instant Decaf coffed dissolved in hot Water to the shake to make it a cafe mocha flavor. no problem getting those down.

I'm not allowed pudding until Thursday, but I think I will definitely try that out. The cafe mocha sounds good too and I'm technically allowed decaf coffee now. I just haven't had any, because DECAF coffee always seemed to defeat the purpose of coffee for me. Maybe I'll grab some at the store tonight.

Should I worry about the fat content in cream Soups tho? That does sound good.

With as little as we are actually eating, I can't imagine it makes much difference at this point. ZOMG, you might break 300 calories for the DAY!

we were told to get 98% f/f cream Soups. they are not so bad. i just strained out the mushrooms for the cream of mushroom Soup. have not done the cream of chicken yet. i am only getting down 2 shakes a day and maybe half a pudding cup. i hated yogurt before and now i REALLY hate it. just tastes even worse.

      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.
