Food after sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

I think if you really chew well and don't eat much, you can eat many things. We just get told this for pre caution. I will not have sugar or starches for a bit but I am having any kind of meat now

2 weeks in and had pot roast today and barbecue pulled pork tomorrow. (Sugar free). We shall see how that goes.

Well I got 2 more days and I can eat a lot more things but I had steak again today but small bites and chewed well. I see no danger but they tell people that for precaution. Only thing other than eggs I am eating. I will.let you know how it goes. Trying lean ground beef in a few days.

They tell people that because they are the ones that are there when people come back in for emergency surgery and sometimes even die when things go horribly wrong from that one little cheat. The doctors are there for you, to help you. They aren’t just advising you to do something to be mean. You clearly have your mind made up about what you are going to do and that’s fine you are a grown adult but for others reading this please listen to your doctors. Just because one person has been lucky doesn’t mean everyone will be. Their advice is to keep you safe and the consequences of cheating on the staged return to eating are not just a few pounds on the scale. They can be very serious.

I am fine now. I can start having eggs, lean deli meat and lean ground beef and seedless watermelon and canned peaches. That lasts 14 days and then I am open to a regular diet. The steak tips got me through this is all I am saying. Of jotbfor them I may have been a complete mess.

The eggs probably would have been a better starter/cheat food than steak. even the deli meat would have been better.

Can and should are used interchangeably a bit too much. part of trying to stick to your post op is training yourself for he future.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
