One month post-op/Suggestions on eats
Congrats on the WL. I am 6 weeks out and have been eating solids/regular foods for the last 2 weeks. I just submerged myself to see what I could and could not tolerate. I've eaten crab, shrimp, ground turkey, shredded chicken, eggs, different cheeses, etc. I have eaten at restaurants several times due to work meetings and have been able to make good decisions like a hamburger with cheese, no bun... or a grilled chicken salad.
I've heard some people have an intolerance to chicken but so far I have been fine. I cook mine in the crock pot and/or make sure I eat it with salsa or with sour cream/guacamole, etc.
My nutritionist also told me I could eat fruits and vegetables, so sometimes I dip zucchini/cucumber in hummus.
The only thing so far that didn't settle well with me was a turkey meatball. I am not sure if I ate it too fast or if it was too dry but I ended up throwing it up and that was a horrible feeling.
I would love to hear other suggestions as well. I sometimes feel "stuck" on meal ideas.
