I'm going to a party next weekend and I had my surgery 10/7 so I was wondering if meatballs are soft in sauce am I allowed them in the soft stage??

Also eggplant parm?? Wasn't sure about that either since its soft

I don't know if tolerances are different with by pass because I had sleeve but for me I can't eat meatballs still and I was sleeved almost a month ago. Also most meatballs have a good amount of breadcrumbs in them so you may want to be careful with the carbs because it may cause dumping with the bypass.

I would absolutely make my own and give it a try. Ground beef can be tricky in those first few months following bypass. Sometimes depending on the meatball, I still struggle. They need to be pretty soft or they hurt my chest.

  • 1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork½ cup almond flour½ cup grated Parmesan cheese⅓ cup Water1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes¾ teaspoon garlic powder¾ teaspoon salt½ teaspoon dried oregano½ teaspoon onion powder¼ teaspoon fresh black pepper

I used the above recipe two nights ago and it was great! I did use ground beef but ground turkey would be an okay substitute. I froze the ones I wasn't intending on using right away.

I enjoyed them over some zoodles! It definitely satisfied any "Italian food" craving I may have had.

I can't have fried meatballs so now i bake them in the oven. Once they come out I blot them of any grease before I add them to my sauce. Yum

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
