Gastric Bypass peeps, how did you deal with these ingredients post op?



Recommended Posts

Hey!

I'm scheduled for surgery (gastric bypass) in February. I've been relying on Protein Shakes and some ketogenic friendly sweeteners as Meal Replacements to get use to drinking my calories instead of eating them.

I wanna know if you've tried any of these ingredients post op and how they made you feel:

- vanilla Premier Protein

- unsweetened cocoa powder

- Swerve sugar replacement

- blended strawberry, blackberries and blueberries (no added sugar)

-Isopure unflavored powder

-unsweetened almond milk

-black Beans (not in smoothies, just in general, mashed)

Thanks! Happy New Year to you all

I did not have any problems with any of those ingredients. I've used everything on that list except Isopure.

I had no problems with those foods, either. I did not try almond milk or Isopure (I did GENEPRO occasionally for a few months, mixed into refried Beans, etc.).

I haven't tried swerve or almond milk, but I eat a lot of artificial sweeteners and eat whole almonds.

Are you asking for right after surgery? Or for the long term?

I eat a LOT of refried Beans, both black beans and kidney beans. Right when I got off of liquids, these were the easiest for me to eat. I had some yesterday after I threw up the night before and was told to rest my pouch.

      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?
