Is this a bad food choice?



Recommended Posts

Later on when I can advance to regular foods would it be a horribly bad food choice to add a little bit of scrambled sausage into my scrambled egg?

I am not fond of eggs but can tolerate them if there is a lil sausage in them. However I don't want to eat anything that I shouldn't eat. I am only 18 days post-op and I intend to follow my program.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I am still on pureed foods and will be for another 10 days before I move onto small solids. All the advice I have have been given is listen to your body and be guided by what it tells you, I tried pureed foods too early and that caused me to vomit, so I went back to liquid's for a couple of days before trying again. Gently gently don't try to rush things, good luck.

One of the main things you'll notice is that your taste buds not only change after your operation, for some reason they will keep changing for the first few months.

At first I had to have everything super salty, one month in I needed to cut out salt from everything to tolerate it. So you may end up being surprised that you can't tolerate sausages, and ur fine with eggs :D

When I graduated to mechanically soft foods I was out of town for work. The convention I was at served Breakfast burritos for breakfast. I popped it open and had a couple tiny bites of the eggs. There was a little bit of sausage that I didn't notice in there. Body didn't like it, came right back up. Took a month or so more before I could stomach it. I have some every once in a while but it's the turkey sausage.

Hey Debi! You'll probably get some varied responses on that, because different people follow different dietary regimes, i.e. no-fat/low-fat/full fat (for those on ketogenic diets), meat/vegetarian, and on and on. Personally, I'm all about getting in that Protein any way possible, so adding a little extra Protein to your eggs...all good as far as I'm concerned. As long as you still watch how much, and don't advance too quickly, should be fine. And if your body decides, nope, that's not happening, just listen to it.

Turkey sausage is leaner, but be careful because it also tends to be more dry...and I found dry meat will not go down for me, so I did/do 1 regular sausage link...not every day, but when I feel I need to get some more dense calories in to let my body know I'm not starving it.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
