Today is my 20th wedding anniversary,and I'd like to go to dinner with my husband. What recommendations do you have? I'm 4 weeks post-op and doing well on solid foods.

Thanks!

It amazes me how different Drs are. I was on 3 weeks liquid, 3 weeks pureed foods , 3 weeks soft foods and after 3-4 months I got salads. Our pouches are very fragil after surgery and most of us have worried about stretching them out. But I am sure you are following your Drs suggestions. My first meal out was chicken noodle Soup with no noodles.

Depends on where you go. If you're doing to a nice supper club, look to share a plate with your hubby or order from the kids menu. Or maybe order a small appetizer (e.g. chicken wings).

I would suggest Soup or the like, or at the very least something like you have eaten at home.

Because butter is in just about everything when you dine out & other extra calorie/no no ingredients it's difficult to nail food down.

So at 4 weeks your pouch might just push something back up or it can feel stuck or possibly you'll experience dumping because it's too greasy.

I would research the place you plan to go beforehand, see what's on the menu by looking online. Make a plan and then stick to it when you get there. Also ask your server questions if you want to know how something is prepared.

Happy 20th anniversary though! Try and enjoy it as best you can.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
