Do you use coconut flour? Is it safe after surgery? How soon can you start eating it?

This is probably a question for your nutritionist. I have never personally used it. Although it is lower in carbs than wheat flour, it is still far from carb free. It also has a lot of saturated fat.

Fat from coconut is a good fat.

I haven't used it since surgery, but I use that and a bunch of non traditional flours. I prefer buying then from Bob's Red Mill because they don't use GMO's.

It's approved by my team and I use it (not frequently bc of the carbs) but along with almond flour and flax and oats. Coconut flour + Protein Powder + ricotta cheese makes a darn good pancake! I spread it with peanut or almond butter (no sugar added) and it's great pre race fuel when I run!

Oh and an egg too forgot to add that! And a bit of vanilla or SF Torani Syrup

      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.
