Soft, pureed foods; foods with no pieces in paste form are common foods you need to eat. For the first three weeks after surgery you should take a chewable multivitamin or a children's multivitamin.

I also had the Fobi Pouch done in Monterrey last week. I'm still here. I leave tomorrow. My surgeon was Dr. Horacio Guajardo. Your doctor should have a dietician. I would contact them. I was given a booklet outlining what and when I could eat. If you email Dr. Zorilla, I'm sure he can give you an email contact for his dietician.

Topic: HUNGER!!!!!!

I'm 1 1/2 years out from surgery.  I feel GREAT!!!!  I'm down 95 pounds from where I started; however my complaint seems to be that I seem to feel constantly hungry.  I eat my protein, and drink my water.  Do any of you have this problem?  If so please share and what has helped you.  Is this normal?  I would love any help with this issue.  I'm so scared that I"ll gain the weight back and so I want to really be careful to not eat so often.

Topic: Food Choices
Hi , I am new to this site and forum. I had my surgery in Monterrey, Mexico 3 weeks ago. My doctor says I can start on a soft diet. No soup, ensure or juices. I am eating egg, ground meat and vegetables cooked in broth, custard etc.
Does this mean I can try split pea soup and refried beans also. Any other thoughts of what I can try to add?

I am having fobi pouch in  less than 2 weeks NJ by Dr. Yvan Ducheine and so far I am very pleased with him. He took his time explaining everything to me and made me feel very comfortable. Good Luck!!

Topic: Choices... Before and After

I saw a commercial the other day and it really resonated with me. It was about making choices and how one good choice can often lead to another. I know that before WLS I often found that if I made 'bad' choice regarding food, I often would often give myself permission to throw in the towel and quit trying to make good choices. I think that the biggest difference for me after WLS is that I'm much more focused on trying to make good choices and much more forgiving when I make a bad choice, realizing that each new choice is a new opportunity to be where I want to be.

Soooo... when you stub your toe and make a less the optimal choice, how do you handle it? Do you handle it any differently after deciding to have WLS?
