In a few days I start soft food do you think raw smoked salmon would be fine? I mean I would assume not because it does say on my sheet to half one piece of toast lol but just trying to get opinions. My surgery was 10/7/2015

I had RNY gastric bypass surgery 29 months ago. For the first 4 weeks I was on Full liquids. The next 4 weeks was pureed Foods. After that it was Solid Foods.

pureed food has the consistency of mashed potatoes. It generally means that you need to prepare the food first in a blender or food processor. My guidelines included fish in the pureed stage. Avocado's were not listed but I would suspect that because it is a very soft food that it would be fine, provided it was mashed or blended.

I was told tuna with a dash of low fat mayo was okay. I havent tried smoked salmon, but Yum it sounds good.

I have had Salmon in many forms since surgery. Out of the can with lemon, salt, pepper and a spicy mustard. Fresh put in tinfoil and baked til cooked. Smoked, thinly sliced, mixed with capers, cream cheese and smeared on Wheat Thins (just a few) and grilled with olive oil, lemon with a few sprigs of Asparagus. I even made a low-carb Salmon Patty then drizzled with garlic Aioli sauce.

And my favorite is with baked salmon, flaked over zoodles with sesame oil and white sesame seeds. Yummo!

I followed my Surgeon and NUT's plan to a T. My plan never included pureed food and by day ten I was allowed soft Proteins which included salmon, tuna, other flaky fish, turkey and chicken. I just made sure that whatever Protein I was eating was super moist, chewed really well and only small bites were taken.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
