What was your diet/food plan one month out from RnY?



Recommended Posts

I had my 1 month nutritionist appt today- long story but she didn't end up seeing me so I couldn't ask her any questions. My office's WOE seems incredibly strict and I am curious what others are able to eat or drink at this point.

I'm attaching my diet... As you'll see at week 5 I can start having blended Soup, oatmeal/grits/cream of wheat/cottage cheese/mashed potatoes, "blenderized" fruit and pureed veggies.

it has been 10 years but this is very close to my old plan ( I pulled it out) it was about 3-4 months before I could really tolerate very much solid foods. I started with adding one thing at a time as different people tolerated different things. I still can not eat beef except ground and real tough meats stick with chicken thighs as they are more moist and lots of fish. deli ham and turkey and of course yogurt and eggs and cottage cheese ( love all kinds of cheese) I can only eat about 2 or 3 bites of any desert before getting sick. sweets have never agreed with my pouch. no raw veggies or salads either. take it very slow it sucks but you will do so much better and will appreciate it in the long run. good luck

You plan is different than mine..I am almost 4 weeks post op..I was on soft foods like scrambled eggs, refried Beans and cottage cheese within 3 days after my surgery..I am still on a very low carb plan 30 net carbs a day till month two..I can only have Protein and condiment type vegetables..1-3 oz and supplement Protein on shakes, drinks, etc .at month 2-6 I can add in soft vegetables..after month 6 I may add grains back but they say it's an option.

I was on pureed for two weeks after being released from hospital, then graduated to soft/mechanical soft for weeks 2 -4 and at day 31, was allowed to start real food slowly after I attended my NUT's post-op class. I'm pretty much allowed anything I can tolerate except for sesame seeds, celery, bread, Pasta, rice. I seem to do better with cheese, pork, beef tenderloin and shrimp than I do with chicken and fish. I did make meatballs from a Bariatric recipe and they were tolerated as well. I can have toasted multi-grain bread or wheat crackers.

My plan is 5 meals a day - 2 meals can have 1 serving multigrain (if there is room after the protein) and 2 meals can have fruit. Also can have 3 good fats - (1oz nuts, 1 tsp olive oil) Currently I drink a Protein shake in the morning (~24g protein), try to have 2 oz of meat (or cheese) at the 3 middle meals and have a glass of fairlife milk before going to bed (13g protein).

I try not to eat anything out that I haven't tried at home first. I don't want to be vomiting or dumping out in public.

      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.
