catwoman7 11,221 Posted September 30, 2016 it depends on your program - they're all different. Grits are pretty high in carbs, so I don't think my program would have approved - at least not that early out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moogle 116 Posted September 30, 2016 I am 4 months out and my team does not allow any of the things listed in this topic except for eggs (at 2.5 months out at least). Only carbs I should be getting are from my non-starchy veggies and sugar free popsicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JulieNOLA 44 Posted October 6, 2016 You are eating regular foods too soon post-op. Grits are a big NO w/ bypass surgery. Fruits and eggs are not for a few more weeks. If your doctor didn't give you materials outlining what you can eat when, you could cause ulcers in your pouch or cause damage! I bought a book back before the procedure - a guide to eating after weight loss surgery for dummies. It has been very helpful! But my Doctor & dietician gave week by week lists of what could be eaten too. Good luck! A Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kearah85 18 Posted October 20, 2016 Grits (thin them out with water), soft boiled eggs, oatmeal, and cream of wheat were all a go for me for week 2 post op. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindy78 372 Posted October 20, 2016 I'm not sure if thin grits are on mine 2 weeks out but oatmeal, cream of wheat, and eggs are. Even thin mash potatoes but only 5-10% of diet can be carbs 70% Protein and 15-20% veggies then the rest after I've gotten Protein can be carbs. My issue is a lot of protein things have carbs just a little and it usually makes up that small % without extras. Did try mash potatoes yesterday. I don't even like them anymore. Who would a thought this girl snubbing nose at bread and potato's. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
