Don't know what to eat



Recommended Posts

So I'm about 5 months post op and 1 month post op from my gallbladder removal as well. Ever since I had GB out I cannot find any substantial food that I like and that's even healthy. I'm gonna get in trouble lol but the only foods I seem to be able to eat and enjoy are pizza, Pasta, chips, popcorn things that aren't exactly good for a post op sleeve patient I know. Don't get me wrong I don't go crazy with the food I eat like 3 bites of pizza and I'm done I'm just nervous because I'm feeling weak and tired all the time and don't know what to do! I try to eat Proteins such as chicken and meats (I used to LOVE chicken before both surgeries and now can't stand it) but nothing seems to go down. Do you think maybe I should make an appointment with the nutritionist at my surgeons office? I haven't seen her in a while and think maybe that I should get a direct plan of things to eat that'll at least be a little healthier!

Has anyone else had similar issues? My friend had her gallbladder out and is fine, of course she has a full stomach so I can't really relate to her. Just wondering if anyone out there has face similar problems after GB and sleeve with eating right.

This sounds like a way to justify doing what you know you shouldn't be doing. I'm a direct person and I know it doesn't win friends, but it seems like you need a direct friend to tell you straight up that you need to knock it off. Eat healthy food if you have to gag it down. Otherwise admit you want to go back to your old ways.

      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.
