Started back work today and Food questions



Recommended Posts

I am two weeks post op. Down 27 lbs.

went back to work today. Work in an orthopedic office placing casts, splints and braces on patients. Gotta a little winded, arms are sore and was a little low on energy a couple times today. Had help and am glad I did!!!

My surgeon said that soft, scrambled eggs, refried Beans, smooth Peanut Butter and grits are fine on my plan now. I was one week Clear Liquids, one week full liquid and purée /soft foods. He said to start reprogramming my chewing mechanism.

Question is what else would be appropriate during this time? I have no NUT so I am relying heavily on you all.

I also asked him how I was eating 1/2 cup at a meal (eaten with 10 min) and able to sip Water afterwards and he said he made my sleeve about the size of a plantain. He said not to worry so much on tablespoons and amounts but again to relearn my chewing mechanism.

Every doctor has different plans but this is what my nut gave me. I hope this helps you. Ignore my highlights! And dates that apply to me :)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
