We need to know which surgery you got. I can really only speak for the RNY. A VSG person could help you more for what has worked for them.
Howdy!
Even at nine years out breakfast is a poached egg with shredded cheese on top. If out and can get IHOP split their steak bites and eggs with the GF. Same for ham & cheese omelets.
Lunch varies. Lots of chalupas/tostadas. Some quesidias too. Will scrap the fixings off and eat that but leave the greasy ass base alone. Partial to Hormel Complete Eats when by myself. Eat the meat, some of the veggies and ditch the rest.
Supper varies. Tonight it is rotisserie chicken and green beans. Last night was 8-9 hot boiled shrimp.
Learning to eat post op is a lot of trial and error. If a food disagrees with you leave it alone for a month or so and come back and try it again. I have only had projectile vomiting twice as a post op. Both times it was on chicken that was TOO DRY! I get a taste of chicken that is too dry - I have flashbacks! You learn what you are willing to try and what you are not. Still like Bar-B-Q but give me the sauce on the side please.
Like I said lots of trial and error.
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
so, I am 2 months out today. everything is going great, still getting used to everything.
what does your daily meal plan look like?
breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack?
I have been doing an oikos yogurt for breakfast, some chicken and veg for lunch, and usually chicken/turkey with veg for dinner. snack might be a couple pickles, some string cheese, or another yogurt...
Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'
Thanks, had the chocolate this morning and the vanilla at lunch. I like the chocolate a lot more than the vanilla.
Basically, everything tastes like crap. Just jump through whatever hoops your surgeon wants. After your surgery it won't matter anymore. You can do it!
Am I allowed to put sweetner like Splenda in coffee or does it have to be black!
Thanks John.
Couple of theories: 1. With the extra treadmill time I'm building up my legs and that is causing uptick on scales. 2. Doing yard work on Saturday I down a lot of water and SF popsicles for the hydration that may be factor too. Need to leave the SF candy alone!
Yeah, I get it. Last weekend, I attended a funeral for my friends wife. I put in a suit I bought over 2years ago and it was pretty tight. It helped me to refocus on food a bit this week.
Keep your head up and just take it a day at a time.
