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 :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
