7 year post op. diet help



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I have had a long journey . I was sleeved in 2011 start weight 135 kg then lost 20kg only to put it all back on.

In the last two years have got it together and lost 26 kg in last 2 years slowly and surely with excersise and diet. I now find myself in a holding pattern.

I am tracking nutrients with MFP but am struggling to get food in. If I eat too much I feel ill and can't get enough veggies in.

I need advice ,do I switch to smaller more frequent meals or stick with 3 per day. I want to stay satisfied and lose weight. Some days I am just not hungry and miss meals .

Has anyone been in this situation could you share some tips.

Congrats on 26K down.

Spread your meals to four/six small meals may help you to get food in more comfortably. Saying more satisfied while in weight loss mode takes some finagling. Eat your Protein first and as much veggies until you feel your sensation of full at each meal.

Go back to the basics - Protein first. 60/60 - 60g protein, 60 ounces Water. Exercise. Track every bite. If you need to add Snacks to get to the numbers, do it. I eat about 110g protein a day and drink about a gallon of water a day. Some days I'm not hungry either, but eat your protein.

      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?
