Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I was due for surgery last September, but due to rise in COVID number jt was canceled and then we moved. I finally got back in the process and it is now scheduled for December 13th!

I just bought some Protein oatmeal, and noticed it has 12g sugar, so thinking I will have to make my own after surgery? I definitely want tk avoid dumping, and originally thought I could add this as a puree option and soft food.

Congratulations!

The sugar is person to person. To be safe, I would say make your own or look for sugar free/no sugar added oatmeal?

That is a lot of sugar for oatmeal! I use Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus in my oatmeal. It doesn’t have any sugar & I’m only getting sugar from the fruit I’m adding.
I would put 1/4C of sugar on my Rice Krispy Cereal so I am shocked that I don’t want it on my oatmeal! There are copy cat PC Cinnamon Plus recipes on Pinterest So I just make my own.
You also can buy unflavored Protein from a nutrition store & add it to your food during the 1st couple of months.

Good luck with your surgery !

I thought so. I will use what we have now and I found an u flavored Protein and was thinking about just adding some berries/fruit and a dash of cinnamon. Thank you.

Thank you. I think that is what I will do. Perhaps will try this much later after, or will just be happy with what I am doing and not want to try. [emoji846]

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
